i was wondering if anyone else is a collector of all things road racing ( trans am, scca, etc) from the 60s? Recently i started collecting patches in hopes of creating a " race team" jacket that is an homage to the Terlingua crew in the 60s. I think the lore is awesome and the thought of these guys tagging thier stickers on every car that they came across at a racetrack is awesome.

I started doing some research and looking up old photos to get a better idea of the sponsors and tracks that they visited in the era. Then i started keeping an eye out at fleamarkets when my wife drags me to them. So far I've amassed a solid collection.

Here's my jacket aka "collection"

Please excuse my marginal sewing abilities!

If any of you guys collect something from this era, post up some pics! I'd love to see. And if any of you have some old dirty, dusty patches kicking around, let me know!
