JimB, does your windshield banner indicate that you are a Psychiatrist? That banner will likely scare the Hell out of VR......

It should only scare you if you see it in your mirror.

Actually ShockDoctor makes very cool motorsport bags, helmet bags, helmet dryers, race suit dryers, etc. They are a major sponsor of mine. OK that's not exactly true but the president is a good friend and fellow PCA racer.

Check your pm buddy!
Eric, you were indeed lapping a vehicle.

Remember... You hadn't finished your 10 lap morning session.

The vehicle was the corner worker van, bringing them back to their stations after lunch.

Thanks for the offer Bon

We already have a couple people who have the file working on it. If that comes up short, we'll pursue it.

I'm really busy for the next week or so. After that I'll look into other stuffs. We haven't done anything in a few years.

I had forgotten about that pic. That was amazing how large you built the West Coast Turtle Pond.

JimB is looking into printing more stickers.

I'm going to be in Chi in a few weeks. I'll check with my old supplier about t-shirts and hats. There are sources out here as well.

To keep the cost down, we went with the "value" shirt back then, only to discover in that industry, "value" must be a euphemism for "Shrinks".

We'll learn from our mistakes.

We'll probably do some up with our classic team motto, and I have some new ideas as well, suitable for our over-achieving Turtles.

Mike we have a local vendor do our company shirts. They charge $29 for the screen (one time charge) and around $5.50 per T-shirt for Haynes Beef-E-T. Artwork can be emailed. They are by far the least expensive I have found anywhere.

Pocket size embroidery runs around $8.00/unit, plus shirt. They are not the faster turn around but.....

I'll help if you want to pursue this option.

those are great prices. Let's see what I can get, checking around.

We have done two impressions in the past (front logo, back motto).

Thanks for the offer Jerrry.

It looks like we're making some progress. They're printing a couple turtles on vinyl today. Assuming they don't suck I'll have them print a hundred on standard bumpersticker stock. When the time comes we can figure out how to distribute them. As long as it doesn't involve me acting responsibly we should be ok.

Mike, for sure I'll have a stack for you at Road Atlanta.

Can you send me a few? I'd be more than happy to reimburse any associated printing / shipping costs.

Important question:

How does this team find out at what speed the vinyl peels off the metal?

...and how to get you compensated.

If you start acting responsibly, you're not allowed to have the sticker on your car.
