Your First Racing T-Shirt?

12/5/08, 7:35 PM

My first says tri-state speedway with sprint car on the front and has a late model on the back with all the top ten drivers names around it. Cool to look at to this day. I also have a Kendall Oil jacket from the early late 60's early 70's that my dad received for winning a feature. (probably Haubstadt also) The names are all there.

Living in wing country, mine was probably a Bobby Allen shirt. But I know for sure, my first non-wing shirt was Tray House:respect:.

I think mine was a hut 100 shirt from early 80's maybe.I know it was when the hut was at the fairgrounds and an all day show with quals and everything.It used to be a family trip every year to the infield for frisbee,burgers and racin.Ah the good ol days.

Mine was a Steve Kinser shirt. I didn't bother with the others because they were (are) still in school. :rolling

Anyone remember the shirts from the late 70s/early 80s that had colored sleeves and "Sprint Car Drivers Slide It In Farther" on the front?

My mom had one. :doh:

How about the "***** Happens" shirts with the upside down sprint car/stock car and the duck on them?

"It was Sprint Car drivers Drive it in Deeper"....LOL then you had the "If you can't race it or take it to bed it ain't worth having" lol. I just found my Ron Shuman ofixco Spl. shirt in a box. The first was a Manzy shirt or a Gary Stanton Shirt. I have that car as a tattoo on my upper right arm.

Lynn Paxton / Boops Aluminum shirt from 1976 or 1977 had one that was blue with blue lettering and one that was white with blue lettering. Have them both in a box stored away along with my Smokey Snellbaker / Lloyds #56 shirts of which I have several.

It would have to a Paragon shirt from the sixties or Danny Smith in the gambler car.
