Thanks! It's my Facebook cover image, and it hit me that it'd make a great avatar. Trying to figure out how to turn it into a t-shirt too! Why not go overboard. :thumbwink:

Might as well post it on http://www.cafepress.com and then you can print it on mousepads, calendars, coffee mugs, etc...

I'm a graphic artist by trade, so I'll be doing much more than just making a Tee out of a photo. I've also got a guy in brandon (that's done all of our recent FAST shirts) that can produce a single shirt at a time (digital printing).

Here's the last shirt I designed for myself. I'm due for a new one. 8-)

Had a great time and loved the venue. Running in a different run group than my class had me optimistic heading home and devastated when I realized how much I was spanked by Mr O'Neil. Congrats to all in M3 who have really stepped up their game and left poor little me in the dust. Won't be able to attend next month's finale due to the woman's birthday however I'm planning on going to that Brooksville thing someone mentioned here on the 30th. See you guys next season!

In conjunction with Loren and Steve, but yes I was the artist that created it. Just brought the original logo up-to-date.

Pretty sure that 66 is faster than my 89 in a straight line, but I'd go for it anyways 8-)


I'm looking at participating in the NMRA real street, or true street class this coming February. I can't remember the class, but its the one where you drive 30+ miles then make 3 passes without doing anything to the car.
Sounds like fun. I just need to ask for another set of wheels and a pair of drag radials from the Mrs. for Christmas.

Man, I love that shirt the more I look at it.

What would it cost to do a one off shirt with my car on it instead of the corvette?

Yes, that's what I was getting at, Drew's car is no beater by any means, I've worked on his car and know what he has. I've owned a Fox body and I know what it takes to drive them, even if they're modified. I'd like to see a seasoned driver drive Drew's Mustang over a period of time and be able to do what Drew can do with it. Fox body cars have little forgiveness if you don't hit your points on the course just right. They tend to want to oversteer and understeer when you least expect it.

That is what I was getting at in a round about way. :)
