Description


During WWII, auto racing shut down as rationing of everything from fuel and rubber to metals made it near impossible, plus, most drivers, crew, and spectators were all taking part in the war effort. As the war wound down and the boys started coming home, Los Angeles racing promoter Bill White approached the city about paving a quarter-mile track in the L.A. Coliseum and hosting midget races. The city loved the idea, and green flagged paving right over the athletic track. The result was a flat track with inside pits. White formed the United Racing Association (URA) for the midget racers, and they got back to racing in 1945. They ran two races the first year, averaging 36,000 people a night. The next year, they ran 15 events, and started getting drivers from across the country joining the URA and coming out to race as drivers were guaranteed 40% of the gate.

 

Details


Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Sizing


Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
