Ok, here are 2 designs that I’ve come up with for the back of the Infineon t-shirt. I’m still working on the front design but I wanted to get some votes on which back is better. We’ll refer to them as Draft 1 and Draft 2. I’ve got them showing on white t’s because those are the cheapest to get it printed on. I think it looks best on white, but of course a white shirt gets dirty easily and shows grease immediately. We could print on a grey t-shirt, which is better for the dirt/grease, but the graphics don’t pop quite as much. It’s up to you guys. Click on each to see a larger view.

Stevo and I are planning to drive with Paul and his Stick Figure Racing crew out at Infineon in early March. We got our acceptance into the race earlier this week so now it’s time to start working on the car. Unfortunately for me (and probably fortunately for the Missus), the car is out in Salt Lake City, so my ability to do much wrenching on the car before the race is fairly limited unless I grow some really long arms.
As a result, my pre-race contribution will be more on the ideas and design phase. Our theme for this race is a tribute (or, for you snooty LeMons fans, an “homage”) to the Deathmobile that wrecks the annual Homecoming Parade at the end of Animal House (click the photo for a larger version):
To that end, I spent the better part of New Year’s Eve (after the Missus had sacked out) watching the end of the movie and getting some screen captures to help guide our efforts to recreate the Deathmobile and its float, Eat Me, as if they had originally been built on the chassis of a clapped out 1988 Toyota MR2 instead of a 1963 Lincoln Continental. We just might run into some issues of scale. More
So, if anyone out there in blawgworld has, for example, a bust of Emil Faber that we could borrow for the race, that would be great. I suspect there is going to be a lot of papier mache in our near future. Regardless, here are the photos that should help define our mission:
