Top looks good, but then it looks like there is some Maryland shit going on.

The top half looks awesome. Talented painter.

I race with the Laurel Highlands Sprints and the Pa Sprint Series. I own my own team with my dad.

Beautiful paint job as everyone agrees on. That being said unless the color red is cutting you a check lets replace red with maize and make this thing perfect!

To explain the colors my car is blue white and red as is my primary sponsors so they requested to have their colors tied into it.
October 26th, 2016 at 5:35 PM ^
Good work combining them, then. Sponsors pay the bills. You could've easily just made it entirely sponsor-centric.
October 26th, 2016 at 8:14 PM ^
Bummer, otherwise perfect. Nice work though, and good luck on the track.

Are they like the official ones and do they stick well on a helmet?
October 26th, 2016 at 5:19 PM ^
I love the way the wings and stripes look raised.

I'm not a big autosports guy, but dirt track racing in sprint cars looks like an absolute riot. Enjoy your helmet* - it's very cool, red and gray portions notwithstanding. And be safe out there!
*At least until you get hit with a C&D letter from some tightass at UofM legal. They tend to be protective of their marks, etc.

in a dirt track race. good luck.

That's rad. I need to get a helmet for track and auto cross stuff next summer. Undecided how I'd want to get it done. Leaning towards a bald eagle/American flag combo but a winged helmet would really piss everyone off here in Ohio.

I'm partial to ski helmets with wings, but I dig yours too.
October 27th, 2016 at 6:28 AM ^
That's sweet looking. Making the sponsors proud and Michigan. Go Blue!

Very nice. The artist did a good job of taking the Michigan helmet design and adapting it to a Sprint style design.
I raced motorcycles for a while and had a custom helmet painted, but I stuck with the traditional Michigan helmet design.
October 27th, 2016 at 9:26 AM ^
Not a biker, but if I was I always thought of have that exact helmet, probably with the maize being some form of reflective tape/paint because visibility is an issue
October 27th, 2016 at 9:39 AM ^
all nuts... maybe

until we beat MSU and OSU?
I've been sitting at home the past decade waiting to beat them both in the same year.
Then I was going to take up hoolahoop.
