Cadpo Brings Legendary Race Car to the Centrix Financial Grand Prix of Denver

WESTMINSTER, Colo., July 8 -- Cadpo has teamed up with the Grand Prix of Denver to bring one of the most significant automobiles in racing history, the Mormon Meteor III (MMIII), to the 2003 race. Cadpo provides the only global, vendor-neutral Knowledge Management system to the MCAD/PLM industry.

Built in 1938, the MMIII is a Duesenberg -- one of the most valuable names in collector automobiles. The MMIII, along with its driver Ab Jenkins, was an international phenomenon and pioneer in land speed racing in the mid-20th century when it set and broke hundreds of endurance and speed records. Ab Jenkins, with this historic car, held more world records than any man in the history of automobile racing.

Considered one of the most valuable cars in the world, the MMIII is more than 21 feet long, 6 feet high and weighs nearly 5,000 pounds.

"The Grand Prix of Denver is proud to work with Cadpo to bring this historic automobile to our event," said John Frew, vice president and general manager of the Centrix Financial Grand Prix of Denver. "The MMIII stands as a monument of racing greatness and seeing it will be a breathtaking experience for racing fans of all ages."

The MMIII was built near and tested on the Indianapolis speedway, but its record-breaking history took place in the Rocky Mountain Region of the United States.

"The MMIII's tie with the Rocky Mountain Region makes it a perfect fit for Cadpo and the Grand Prix," said David Fedler, vice president, Cadpo. "Both the Grand Prix and the MMIII represent what Cadpo stands for -- technical excellence, high-performance and teamwork. Cadpo is proud to play a role in the history of both."

Marvin Jenkins, who helped build the MMIII in 1938 and recently performed its restoration, will be on hand to discuss the car's design and history. "The MMIII revolutionized the world of racing and the automotive industry," said Jenkins. "When we learned about Cadpo's involvement around the world in modern automobile design we knew it was a great fit. We're excited to have Cadpo host the MMIII for this event."

The MMIII will be on display at the Grand Prix in downtown Denver, Colorado, Aug 29-31, 2003. Cadpo will be hosting a hospitality booth for clients and friends along with a booth in the main expo area where the MMIII will be on display.
