Did Champion sell out. I know they used to be big up there in the Cities. A couple of the managers here ended up with a store there after ours closed.

Yeah, they sold out a long time ago, early 90's I think. A classmates dad was an executive with them. They had a small office as their HQ a few miles from where we lived, no giant building needed. And they sponsored the NHRA races at Brainerd for a long time, as far back as I can recall.
