It's that time again - to start getting things lined up for SpeedWeek and specifically for Salt Talks 2012. Here's the story (in brief): For years we'd choose the vehicles that went on the shirts that we sell at Salt Talks by looking through the build diaries and picking the vehicles that appeared the most and best out of all of 'em. but since selling those shirts (and Salt Talks itself) are a fund raiser, last year it was suggested (Thanks, Stainless) that I auction all of the three or four locations on the shirt. Highest bidder gets first choice, but since they're all on the front of the shirt (will be on the front this time, for sure) and so on. But it doesn't matter too much where you end up - you'll be on there.
I'm going to try something different this year. You all know Ray the Rat (I betcha you've seen his work, at least), and he's going to take the "winning" photos and customize the art on the shirt from them. We've always had an outside artist do the artwork - let's give Ray's efforts a try.
By the also way, we'll make the shirts here at Kudos Laser Engraving. We now can make full-color transfers of photos and all sorts of other art - so we'll do the shirts. They're a bit higher quality than the traditional shirts -- these have to be mostly, if not 100%, polyester. Think "UnderArmour".
So let the bidding to get YOUR car or bike on the next Salt Talks shirt. I'll let the bidding go on for a couple of weeks, at least, so that most everyone will have seen this by the time it ends. I'll also post a few reminders as time goes by.
Last thing: We're getting a small order of landracing.com hats. We're buying about 2 dozen, so don't use your hat budget 'til you see one of ours.
