... Sum's card idea is a Dodge good idea...

Actually the idea to have business cards wasn't mine and the credit goes to ....

This is an example of what I am talking about.

PS. Use a picture like this on a business card and have all the contacts on the back for a handout.

Sum, I had to give credit to somebody so your name seemed good enough to me, Tom G. sorry about that, Your idea is a great one.

The point I was trying to make was to get the word out.

We will be using this when we show our bikes in the winter at various events in the UK .  I am giving a talk at a local motorcycle club in the Welsh borders shortly. Lots of interest in Land speed racing in the uk.

For business cards use Avery.com. It's free, you design your own card and they save your design. You can go back anytime and print some more.

To Johnnie Rouse, and the Paso54 guys, Thanks for your efforts.  :cheers: :cheers:

Neil, Great picture. That has given me an idea for the back of the business card. I checked and it is really cheap to have the back of a business card done, so my thought is that would be a great picture for the background of the contact information on the back side of the card.

Strongly recommend one-sided. The picture is the hook, for what you REALLY want them to see which is the message. Keeping both in the same place locks the 2 together. Putting the message on the back dilutes the emotional impact. If you were selling the car, would you put your contact info and price on the back?

It makes me happy that alot of you racers are getting the word out about bonneville, but one suggestion, lets be a bit more postive, this is something that needs to be done in the right way, the picture on the card is a little much. Also remember I have been promoting the salt flats my whole life, its my home, so just be polite to my roots!

I decided to go with a two sided business card. The pictures below will be the front and back of the card. I hope this inspires others to spread the word.

PS. As a side note, I don't feel anyone would show any disrespect on the cards. Everyone must remember some people have many years of their lives invested in their race vehicles, let alone the monetary investment. So it is only natural for them to be very upset and frustrated with what is happening to the condition of the salt. Also remember Time for some of us is not on our side, so waiting 10 years for conditions to improve is not acceptable.
