I bought my dad the Hooter's 500 program from '92, and I have to agree - it's cool as hell looking at the vintage ads and coming across gems like that.
Lmao. I wasn't around yet, but there's seemingly no history online about MGD Lite. I was able to find more signs and stuff from '89, but that's about it. Wonder if it was a one-year pilot and never took off?
For the USORL Cup Series, I cut my participation down to running only part-time, and running only at Super Speedways (I've become Brendan Gaughan, flips included).
Since I ran the Flying V in the past, I decided to run an Eagle One version of it for our Daytona Shootout.
For my regular...
Up next.... more Michael Carey Showcase content.
One of his showcases was a throwback showcase...... so naturally, I pulled out my Braves throwback I ran in the USORL and made it a Chase throwback since he's a big Braves fan. It got plenty of public attention, but it never caught the eye of...
Next up - Axalta and iRacing did a contest to design Byron's scheme for the iRacing series, so I put a few colors swaps up together. Base by Steven Merzlak.
My favorite, this one here:
The others:
Grid also had a contest to design a car to be featured in game. I just recolored my...
Keeping on the path of real-life concepts. Not sure how many of you are on Twitter and follow Michael Carey, but last year he did quite a few "showcases" for the community to particulate in, with one of the first ones being based around Hooter's, and making a Chase Elliott concept.
Since I...
Next up - some concept schemes. Back in early 2020, Oscar Mayer had a contest to design a new ride for Ryan Newman for Phoenix (iirc), and so this is what I came up with:

Well, with more people back on the boards (especially those that used to participate), there might actually be enough interest to bring them all back. Like I said in the NNS Silly Season thread though.... it's been a tough going for the offline leagues recently.
Well, that was a lie. I haven't posted in here in quite some time actually, so I've got quite a bit to share. I've also been working on a personal project (although that might become its own thread).... so without further ado, here's my schemes from last season in USORL Trucks.
Dietz Nuts...
So I noticed that the image hyperlink on the RCR site was labeled as "Scaled".... removed that portion and got the full-size image.
What I see is "Long Live Tyler Ray Hodges" maybe?
Alright guys - we'll try starting up again in 2021. Right now, it looks like pulling a full field of community members is likely not going to happen, so we might get a little creative with teams and drivers in order to fill the field and run at least one more season.
