Maybe just choke some man back into you slacker! ;-]>
Here's a story that actually happened at an ORR.
A few years back while we were at a real 160+ mph a good friend of mine was gridded right in front of me in his cherry outstanding big blocked '69 Camaro Z28 with about 600HP.
I caught up to him after about 25 minutes on course and just to fok with him flashed my lights and honked my horn a couple times before I passed his sorry ass.
Then as I passed him we gave each other the appropriate ORR-BROTHER-FINGER and then I slowed down because somepeople actually go to these ORR's to nail their goal speed and I was thinking maybe he might be one of them.... so he passed me....again we paid respects as he flew by both of us grinning like we had just ate the canary....
Except when he passed me and got about 50 feet in front of me a piece of his Chevy's window molding flew off and bounced back off the Pantera. Now thats old school racing.....No Corvette could do that because no OLD corvettes race...At the finsih line after we got done laughing about what had happened he gave me a lecture about 'unsafe passing on course' and warned me that next time it could be his engire rear bumber that came off.
I might forget my fire (s) or engine (s) that grenaded in ORR but I will NEVER forget that ONE piece of Z-28 chrome window molding bouncing back off my windshield at speed

Get a new choker! They look good at ORR events. Your Corvette buddies will stutter. Tell them above 160, open the side windows and the rear window blows out and it would hit their cars since they are behind you!

Dave,
Are those dimensions correct? Seems rather small vs. the pictures.

I had these labels (some call decals or stickers) made from high quality UV
vinyl and UV inks. They will not fade or fall apart. You can't believe the
comments people make. Usually look at the decal and then a quick look at the
speedometer confirms their thoughts. They are a blast.
I had to run 1,000 pieces. I'm not going to retire on this, I would like to
get some of my cost back (you don't want to know). I did not run them with
the intent to sell them but I get requests at shows and
cruise-ins.
2 for $5.00 including postage. Size is 2-1/2" x 1". Satisfaction guaranteed!
