Just my rant for the day.

Pete, an astute observation. Dennis Alvey's lettering works well, large size and easy to read. Some of the others really need to have a picture taken from the NHRA spectator seating to see what it looks like when they race. Not picking on him, "Ritchie Pauly" (?) is gonna be hard to read. I wouldn't even hazard to guess what class the "Maddox" Challenger is in. Some have colors which don't contrast with the window/interior color at all so can be barely seen. Even a contrasting border doesn't help some with the tiny lettering. What are the required sizes? Without a name on the car door or quarter panel at least letting the spectators know who you are can't hurt.
