When I worked at Alumax the main entrance had a plaque describing the outstanding engineering that went into the creation of the Alumax plant in Jackson, TN. The cost to build the plant was $100,000,000.
Up in the casthouse was a full-sized display of Stefan Johansson and the Alumax indy car. Along with the pic was a statement that it had cost Alumax $100,000,000 in total to put their name on the side of the car.
I vividly remember thinking we were just a toy to the home office.
