THE RACE CAR SHOP

Last weekend, the TRIM team and I hung out with my dad and Sprint Car’s Rookie of the Year, Jonathon Cornell. We worked on new shirts and denim designs, drank Budweiser and had a few burgers. This place is full of old timers telling great stories, burnt coffee, Camel no-filter cigarettes, hand lettered signs and fast cars.

I’ve been down to Austin Speed Shop a few times. They do some amazing work and Sean “Fat Lucky” Johnstun, who is know world-wide for his upholstery skills is absolutely  incredible.
