But, with the recent crashes and various other problems, that they no longer could justify running it, so they have parked it...I commented that it was the end of a "super team" and he had no retort for that, so it seems it is true. I told him I will miss the 53, but that it was a good run. A very good run.
Brad also told me that he and Steve have accepted a job with another team and will be putting all their efforts into that for the remainder of '08 and into 2009.
There ya go.

WOW! That is sick!!!! One of the best teams I have yet to see in my short time enjoying this sport!
I have a hard time believing they would end such a good thing!
