My first racing tshirt was a Nance Speed Equipment from 79 or 80. My last one is a Fly'n Brian Litchfield #28 that reads "fat people are harder to kidnap".

A little off topic here... Paragon always opened on Easter Sunday (mid-70's) it was an afternoon event back then starting about 1pm. One year it spit snow lightly and the wind blowing but they raced, as soon as it was over everyone that could loaded up and headed down 67 to Tri-State for their opening night. 2 races in one day. I remember being frozen for about 10 hours that day.

I'D have to say one of my first t-shirts would have to be from the USAC stock car days when thay ran the fair grounds mile in Indy. Still have the program, 1967. Don't have the T any more. One that I do remember that was a fav of mine was the Longhorn T when Ol' Bub drove.
It was just the Longhorn Decal on the front and back,1977. It was given to me by the late Donnie Ray Everett. The first sprint car T I bought was from the 1977 western states show in Manzi. Bobby East drove the Longhorn car into the A main then Ol' Bub took over starting on the tail and was going to the front, was taken out with a slide job ending our night.

That's more like it, Drew.

Did I ever apologize for makin' you sit through those tin top and wang shows?:O:

I'm thinking my first shirt may have been an Opperman U.S.C.R.Y. shirt also, or maybe my 1977 Hulman Classic T......

I think he'll accept apologies if you offer to take him to KC for the indoor midget races.

1982 Sammy Swindell #1n Nance sprinter. My dad was working in Texas at the time and went over to Devil's Bowl to watch the outlaws in March I think. Believe it was the night Bobby Davis Jr. won his first ever WoO race in I think his dad's #71. He bought me and my older brother a shirt. Mine is long gone but I have my brother's shirt boxed up somewhere. I remember mine had the Nance logo on the back while my brothers has the same depiction of the car (with wings) on both sides.

My first racing t shirt was from the 1981 Knoxville Natioinals. My dad and Allan Wilkinson brought it back to me. I think that Knoxville was still a non wing race then. (?)
