Nice use of the reflective vinyl you have laying around. That helps the sponsors get their moneys worth.

Nice look you got there, Mike. Very retro and great readability.

not my job Ray, I just paint um....The track grader is faster than this guy, so air in the tires ain't gonna help him any.

I do the "Squint test" for grandstand readability.

If you can read it when you squint, it will be readable from the stands.

It's good that he's slow. I find that the slower they go, the easier it is to read.

Nice job Mike!!!!


As far as the reflective goes, that's fine on the deck lid, reflective isn't good to use on the sides though, it screws up the photographs.

The tire going flat...all part of running Hoosiers, the sidewalls are porous.

Definitely stands out like it should. Your right; with the printing technology today we see a lot of stuff going by with the lettering lost in all the glitter and special effects.

Nice job Mike!!!

The driver is a local Hog Farmer, I've done his cars for years, and this is the 3rd time I have spelled Isaacson's wrong!!!!!! He don't care!
