We may spend 150 hours out of the year at Bonneville.

Black will work good there at any time but August.

So if you use white do you make my a$$ black?

It really begs for hand applied lotion.

On the 100 yr shirt maybe a nice generic liner something like Bob Herda's liner that does not offend anyone but anyone looking at it knows it says top speed and cross's all years

Then you can have the fast cars that people like on different shirts to select from, and keep everybody happy?

Why clutter the shirt with collage of various cars and bikes.

There is a certain majesty of a bare salt flats with the floating mountain in the back ground and the silhouette of a suited up racer in the foreground facing the mountain.

Great Idea.

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

For me, it would have to be Mickey Thompson's Challenger I, that's the car that planted the Bonneville seed into my teenaged brain.

Hmmm more than one, thats is something to think about!


Mike, I think you can maximize this by - again - keeping the logo constant.  In fact, you could have your shirts with a simple embroidered logo on the chest, and from those shirts, create silkscreens for whatever vehicles you want to do.

And then look at sponsorships.  M/T Tires might well spring for the initial silkscreen and set-up costs for the Challenger Shirt, and might be convinced to sell them on line with their tires.  Synergies for the museum and the product.

If you were to do the same thing with the three MG Factory experimentals from the 1950s ( the EX 135, EX 179 and EX 181 - all on one shirt), I'd hazard a guess that Moss Motors might sign on and sell them through their web presence.

While most of the teams are independent, there are likely some sponsors who might want to associate themselves with an achievement after the fact.

Put the sponsor's logo on the shoulder.

The sponsor gets visibility at the museum and product to sell along with supporting a not-for-profit educational facility.

I think there's potential there.
