Your First Racing T-Shirt?

Either a F.A.R.T. shirt, or a Crucean - Mahoney beer party shirt. Ithink it was the ,"Tell me if I was there" shirt. Boy werew those the good old days.

Years ago I bought a shirt at an end of season sale in Indiana that has Joe ( not Joey ) Saldana dumping Boop's big block car at Eldora.

The first one I'm sure was just a normal UMRA shirt, but the first ones I remember having were Rich Vogler's Wilke Pak Midget shirt, an Ascot Park shirt, and a Jack Hewitt winged shirt - with the slogan "Dew it, Hewitt" on it. I'm guessing the years were around 1988.

My wife made me get rid of my "I'd rather be blown than injected" drag racing shirt.

My first racing shirt had to be an old Riverside Park one.....I reminded of it every day I drive by the Six Flags Theme Park that has replaced it......

World of Outlaws shirt 1978 at Lawrenceburg. Best part is that I still have it!

My first one was from the two-day April 1987 All Star Circuit of Champions Late Model race at Tri City. Which is kind of ironic, since it was about the farthest thing from T-shirt weather you could possibly imagine. Even with Carharts on, that's the coldest I've ever been at the races.:eek:
