Re: Who does class & numbers?
Bruce Deveau aka Racerhead makes the ones that stick on the inside of the glass & can be removed for class changes.
Many of the New England / Northeast (D-1) racers have Bruce's trademak lettering identifying class & vehicle number! |

1. Support of the fellow racers (as was already mentioned) Beard, Scott Brown, Accelerated Graphics and a copule of others have responded, and ALL either race or are involved in the sport. 2. the one time I tried the local sign shop, it took three trips to get it right. If they don't race they generally don't understand exactly what we need, a fellow racer does. The sign shop had trouble getting the class designation layout right, even after I drew it out for them.

Re: Who does class & numbers?
Having worked in the sign industry as an old school signpainter and race car letterer, I tend to have a built-in resentment for ANY vinyl sign shop, since it has all but ruined the actual craft of sign making.
Now, anyone can go out and buy a vinyl cutter and call themselves a sign maker, without any sort of design sense or training whatsoever. I invested a lot of years learning to hand letter and design beautiful painted signage, only to have the craft rendered almost obsolete just as I was getting proficient. Well done, hand painted sign work is an artform that has all but disappeared, except for a few hand letterers around the country that still practice the craft. I still paint signs and letter vehicles when a customer asks for it, but that doesn't happen too much any more. I apologize if I sounded angry, I just read this thread and it touched a nerve a little bit. Todd |
