Your First Racing T-Shirt?

Seadog · 12/5/08, 5:01 PM

I think mine was Jan Opperman's U.S.C.R.Y. (UNITED STATES CHRISTIAN RACING YOUTH?) T-shirt. The year? early 70-ish. Again, I can't really trust my memory on any of this, but that's the best I can remember.

Do you remember yours? I hope you remember better than can I.

I also had a Bubby T-shirt. It was the "Stormin' Norman Bruce Cogle Ford" variety. Is that the one you had?

Kyle, I'm not sure if there was a car on it at all. Believe it or not, I still have quite a few old racing T-shirts still packed away somewhere. Maybe some day I'll get them out and have a look.

I also had a powder blue T-shirt years ago with a picture of a Cosworth midget engine on both sides and C-O-S-W-O-R-T-H spelled out in big letters. I wore it to Eldora to a race and a guy tried to buy the darn shirt right off my back! He offered me as I recall up to $20 when I actually paid about $7 or $8 for it. I did not sell it to him.

Some of my earliest shirts where:
-Bettenhausen Evil Knievel Indy Car
-FT.Wayne Indoor Midget Event (80)
-Terre Wente Skoal Midget

-One that had a girl in a bikini and midget on it and a slogan that said:"If you can't race it or take it to bed; it ain't worth havin'"

I've never been a big racing T-Shirt guy, but I have had a few.
