Not sure I would paint a car pink, but it might keep you from getting run over if your track has bad lighting.   :) 

Scott, that car looks good.

 I like the look of your speedy.  Is that a foam mud plug in the right rear ?

  It was a waving checkered flag when I found the image. The orange, yellow and blue stripes were actually white, gray and black signifying the air of the flags wave direction. They were bigger than the checkered flag. I stretched the image to fit the coupe and laid it out in vynil.  The coloring looked better on the computer program than it does on the car. One of these nights I'm going to break out the airbrush and  change the orange, yellow and blue back to gray white and black.
It just doesn't look right

Howdy ya'll from West Texas!

There sure are some niice cars out there and I have enjoyed looking at all of the ones posted here!
I thought I would share mine and the story behind it.
I just started racing in August of 2009, flipped my car during the last race in November 2009 and decided to start again from the ground up. My sponser wanted to do something "different" and that was a showcase for thier capabilities.
I came up with a bandana print idea and the resultas are below. I also suggested replacing the corner paisley print of the bandana pattern with my sponsors logo. It really came out wild as you can see. All in all there is about 200 hours in the paint alone. Yes, it is 100% paint!!
The graphics are all reflective with the numbers done in Mirror Ball. The car was featured in the April issue of Speedway Illustrated.
Thanks for letting me share!

Thanks! There are 4 coats of clear on the main body itself but the fenders were done in single stage. First race I got hit and tweaked the rear fender. Black duct tape worked fine. Since my sponser is the shop that painted it i just took it off and took it to him. He fixed it and painted it again. The problem is if anything ever happens to the main body.......I'm pretty much hosed

Our 2010 ride is a '37 Chevy Coupe, which has a hardly raced Hank Scott motor in it.  The car is fresh, having been rebuilt recently, but a lack of new tires is the problem in the UK.  We desperately want new cut tires and new wet weather tires.  We are expecting the container end of next month, fingers crossed!



We have just secured our 4th sponsors for season, which is more than we have ever managed to get in 12 years of racing. OK its only worth about $2,000 but goes a long way towards our 6,000 miles of travelling this year, with gas prices at record levels in the UK.
