That's great looking. While we, as enthusiasts, "get" the historial Gulf racing livery/number balls/etc, I wonder if non-race fans subliminally connect the competition color scheme? Bet they do.

Do you have finish line photo apparatus? Probably expensive to market/produce individual finisher photos, but I'd bet that would be a great way to expand income...the ego of competitive people is boundless

Really great idea for a niche business. Here's to wishing you great success in your venture.

Thanks guys!

Hugh R, I think the back window is my favorite!

Chuck, your pin up girl and logo almost made it on the van!(still might!)

Geronimo '74, I have a timer for you in your country!

Dueller, I did place a small Gulf logo on the front fender but, if you don't get it great! It's the "smile and the nod" from people that do that is cool for me! I actually have a special program and specific camera that links with the timing system and when the racers crosses the mat the camera takes the picture! I've spent alot of time thinking about this and speaking the athletes about what they want AFTER they race. What they do to get there is up to them!

Thanks Shaun, and everyone. I love working with Marin Bikes, and this is really taking off nicely!

I'm going to run a 1/4 inch black pinstripe between the blue and orange just to give it that final...yes! you guys know what I mean!!!!!1

Like others have said, the back window is great.

Good luck.
