    Good Friday to all indeed.
    So my friend Matt @Hitchhiker, is going to do some shirts for his cool business AKA
    "SEATTLE SPEED SHOP" So he sent me this photo, of his truck, and I thought I would give it a try to see if I could follow the lines of the truck, using my new LED light pad.

    As many fellow HAMBERS have chimed in on his thread, to help decide which version of his design to use. I got in touch with Matt and @hotrodjack33 to help out on the decision.
    So cool that Jack really nailed it with his suggestion and input, Jack is right up there with Norwell when it comes to how to properly design for T-Shirts.

    There is a fellow HAMBER, @kustomitch , that contributes his work on the flattened out, used U.S. Post Office priority envelopes, and I really like that concept.

    So as a test piece, I used a junk piece of paper that I had already used as a template for a license plate, you can see the holes for the bolts and other lines, and I figured since it was just a test piece, no harm in doing quick and dirty with pencil, to see if I got anything that might appeal to Matt's eye.

    What you see below, is just a test, and nothing more, and I liked it so much, I decided to post it up on the "FAS" this week. And I trimmed it up to use as the avatar for this week.
    I also laminated it and put it on the back of one my older flyers, and it will be tacked up on the wall at Matt's cool shop.

    Thanks to all that contribute weekly to the "FAS"
    Thanks from Dennis.

    Hello,


    When we took our son camping on the beach, it was a part of our family coastal tour that ended up in the S.F. Bay Area and then across California to the deserted Highway 395 for a different trip home. Early on, my wife and I took this route many times as it allows a lot of different stops and sights to see. A part of the tour for vacations and photo shoots was get there, set up and shoot for several days and appointments. But, in between, and afterwards, we always took our time coming back home to So Cal.

    When we went up there for our son’s camping and California tour vacation one year, we happen to stop at an old campground in Half Moon Bay. We were state park visitors all over California, so we stayed at a state park campground on a beach side spot. On the way out and North to San Francisco, we drove by the famous surf spots and then made a jog inland a few short blocks to the old airport, where the original Half Moon Bay Dragstrip was located.

    A historic site near the ocean, on a bluff with moisture filtering in the air, was how it felt. The time we were there was cool to warm, but windy, the daily breeze, coming off of the ocean.

    During our drag racing days, we thought that it would be a cool thing to tow up to Half Moon Bay and then go across the S.F. Bay to race at Fremont Dragstrip as a grand Northern California tour for our Willys (B/Gas and then C/Gas) 671 SBC coupe. My brother had big time ideas all set up for our drag strip racing adventures.

    A low stance, some Moon Discs and rake gives it a little more attitude…

    We had seen all of the Drag News reports about the races and racers located in Northern California and that was a place we wanted to explore back then. So, a vacation plus racing seemed like a fun thing to do for us. Come to think about it, my brother also had plans to tow back to Detroit for the Nationals after we got our C/Gas Willys 671 coupe in record setting tune. This Northern California tour would have been a preview of what was ahead for us.

    "The former airport turned dragstrip was located in Half Moon Bay, California. This race track/airport runway was just south of San Francisco along the coastal highway, just a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean. Half Moon Bay was pleasant to attend because of the ocean breeze, but the condition of the track left a lot to be desired. Yes, it was a challenge for any top fuel car to stop safely but they did. The track always had some great Altereds and surprise Gas Coupes from Los Angeles to add to the mix of racers."


    opened June 15th 1957 by owners Jim McLennan, Don Smith & Ted Gotelli.
    upload_2023-2-3_4-43-13.png
    “The airstrip at Half Moon Bay had been used by a couple of the local car clubs (the Lightning Rods and the Piston Pushers) as a place to race legally, but the city wanted improvements and insurance. Without the money to sustain their pastime, the car clubs had to give it up. By this time, Jim had already opened Champion Auto Parts in South San Francisco. His speed shop quickly became "the place" to go for rodders seeking specialty parts, hot tune ups, or to just hang out.”
    upload_2023-2-3_4-43-53.png

    “When Jim heard that a 3000' long, 60' wide ribbon of concrete was available, he quickly negotiated a lease with the city and took over the track. Jim turned this remote little auxiliary airport into the hub of drag racing in the late 1950s. With Half Moon Bay and Cotati (which Jim also owned) open on alternate weekends, drag racers in Northern California finally had a legitimate option to street racing.”

    Thanks once again for the kind words Dennis...but I'm just a "hack" that's pretty good with a Sharpie;)...and to be honest, @Jeff Norwell is lightyears ahead of both of us.;)

    By the way, nice job on the line drawing:D

    ...and as long as we're talking T-shirt designs...

    Had a neighbor with an Avanti when I was 4 or 5 years old. I've had a soft spot for them since.
