THE UTAH ALLIANCE AND SAVE THE SALT ARE WORKING ON A GENERIC SIGN THAT ALL RACERS CAN USE AT CAR SHOWS. IT IS A GREAT IDEA. BE PATIENT, IT IS NOT AT THE OF OF THE LIST, BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT. LOOK FOR SOMETHING POSTED ON THE UA AND STS WEBSITE AS LR.COM FORUM POSTING SIZE LIMITS ARE NOT COMMENSURATE WITH THE SIZE REQUIRED FOR A HIGH QUALITY REPRODUCTION DOWNLOAD FILE.

I think that a .pdf file should not be that large.

STS, please make the sign/article able to be used at ANY car show, not specifying that THIS car runs at B-ville.

I think that Jon's original idea that he be the one to print the signs is a good one. His generosity by providing this site is why all this happening. So he needs to get some compensation by printing and sending signs to the exhibitors.

The original file should be available, but if you are having a sign printed, give SSS the first shot at it.

Posting a sign that anyone can use is probably the best outcome.  Jon would have to print them and then ship them and all of that would cost the people displaying them time and money.  Even he thinks that would hurt the effort.  Let's give Jon credit for having this forum to make this a reality.

Geez, the way you're talking about this dude named "Jon" makes me kinda wonder. . . :?

Okay -- I can post a downloadable pdf here and would be happy to do so.  If it is too big to fit in as a "regular" attachment here in the Forum -- well, that's what we've got Bob the Web Elf for -- he can make it work (you can, Bob, cancha?  Don't make me a liar, you hear?)

I'll be happy to help out however it needs doing.  Stan has a fine point -- shipping them thar things'll be expensive - so if I can host the original art for 'em and you each go to your local sign shop to have them download and print -- that'd be great.

I mean, that is, you tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it.  Maybe you don't remember that old joke. :-D

Jon does not need to be saddled with buying envelopes, filling out addresses, buying postage and ensuring mailings.

Send LR.com a donation that does not require him working extra to support the website. For that matter, send 1/2 and consider making a contribution to STS in November, the BSF restoration is gonna need it.

We will post the link on LR.com to download the PDF on the www.save-the-salt.org website

Easy, quick, no babysitting.

When I display my Rear Engine Modified Roadster  at the Jalopyrama Reunion I look forward to having a sign to help spread the word about the Salt Flats situation. Every chance I get I explain the to those interested about the problem. This being an East Coast event getting the word out at this big show I feel will help greatly.
   Now can we expect to have something downloadable in time for the date of this event?

Getting the sign done by the 24th is a push - we are focused on getting things ready for the SEMA show - but there is hope.

The sign is low priority in comparison to SEMA, but we recognize it si a big deal for racers and have already sorted the text and some images, so work has been done on it already, just not enough yet.

A sign is a low priority!  Not everyone goes to SEMA I'm willing to continue to spread  the word as best as I can however I'm getting horse doing all the talking it would be nice to get some help. I also hate sounding like a broken record when I explain how the condtions have deteriated to the point where we may not race again for some time on the salt. A sign sure would help. OH WELL

Nancy and I are going to the PRI (for the first time) this year, and I'm pretty sure there'll be something there in re: saving the salt (note small letters).  I'm not going to subject any of the groups to diminution by incorrect hyphens or something.  I know, though, that SEMA - who owns PRI - is very aggressively supporting the concept of getting us a racetrack soonest possible (writ the way we sorta selfishly see it).

Maybe I'll start a topic to let those of us that are thinking of attending the 9-12 December, Indianapolis, show -- can stay in touch and make plans to do what we can.

Deep enough!

Bob, I think you're right.

Getting the sign done by the 24th is a push - we are focused on getting things ready for the SEMA show - but there is hope.

The sign is low priority in comparison to SEMA, but we recognize it si a big deal for racers and have already sorted the text and some images, so work has been done on it already, just not enough yet.


Louise, seriously now, you've told us of the innumerable unbillable hours you're throwing at this, the copy is done, you've got images you want to integrate, but the organization can't delegate a simple project like layouts for flyers and a poster?

I deal with ad agencies and PR firms all the time - this is a job for interns and volunteers.


Why have you not reached out to us?  There is a wealth of talent on these boards willing and able to help.


if we could have about 499 more of you it would surely "save the salt."


We're here, we're concerned - why has the coalition not turned to their largest captive group of potential volunteers?

I've been in bands with drummers . . . yes, DRUMMERS . . . who can cut and paste copy and images into cohesive posters and flyers.  I know there are others here who are waiting for an opportunity to do something other than speculate, complain and let our imaginations run wild.

We are your resources, and handing off the work will shut us all up and let us feel like we're contributing.

Then, all you have to do is edit.  

300 unbillable hours?  Climb down from the cross - we're going to need the lumber and nails for signs.

Louise . . . the coalition needs to let us help.

Patience is a virtue rarely exhibited by people who demand freebies.

Anyone wishing to PAY for the design services for a sign please send me a PM
