From a press release issued by BrakeTech:

CONGRATULATIONS
Team Oliver Racing!

A genuine and hearty congratulations to you and your team, Rich, on capping off a truly remarkable career with yet another perfect season. Your professionalism and dedication to the sport should serve as inspiration to the legions of upcoming kids and young racers who need positive role models in a time where, sad to say, they are hard to find.

Although I’m sad to see the purity of 250GP slip into the history books now, you can be proud of the fact it has provided some of the most exciting wheel-to-wheel action on the track with many of the biggest names in racing. In that you’ve become iconic. I’ll certainly miss the unmistakable scent of two-stroke exhaust wafting through the paddock as the final call for the race blares over the PA system. That era has now come to a close as we set our sights on the future of the sport in the hopes that fine tradition will be carried forward in a new incarnation.

We here at Ferodo and BrakeTech can unabashedly say it has been a great pleasure and a honor to have worked with you over the past few years. Knowing you and your determination, I can only imagine the growth and success of the Mystery School to become a cornerstone for serious and upcoming racers looking to hone their craft. In that, we wish you all the best.
