In 1962, Jim Hall and Hap Sharp started a small racing team in Midland, Texas--they named it Chaparral Cars after the Spanish word for "road runner," a common West Texas bird. Mention Chaparral to race fans and you will hear two excited reactions: great people and great cars. The Gallery includes: The Chaparral Story - the history of Chaparral Race Cars; The Chaparral Technical Innovations - an exploration of the engineering and aerodynamic advances developed by Chaparral; The Garage - an opportunity to observe routine maintenance on Chaparral Race Cars in a setting modeled after the original Chaparral garage located in Midland, TX.
