Anybody recognize this decal?
-
By the way, I didn't post the car itself, that's still under wraps for hellnbak.

Hey Box, you the man! Yeah, the car did participate in the 2005 Great Race (but the car you pictured was not it
). Unfortunately, all I've come up with so far are a bunch of photos with the decal even fuzzier than the one I originally posted (don't people take close-ups anymore?). Here's the closest I've come --
and only the top right two decals appear to be the same as the one I need, and of course they are unusable.
But I haven't given up. First it's nap time, then back to it.
Thanks again. -

Much appreciated. There will be a little something extra in your Xmas gift this year
-
Don't worry, I know which it is. Didn't want to spoil your thunder.
-
Near the solution : we must find the year!
-
Don't mean to interupt, but why is this in "SketchUp Discussions" and not the Corner bar ?
-
I'd say asking at one of the vintage rally forums would yield an answer faster.
-
The more I look at it the more it looks like either a participation or stage ace/win award sticker
-
Maybe better chance in Flicker!

Because Hellnbak makes a reconstruction of the sticker in sketchup!
-
in 2006 that was in the other side

I asked the question for you on the Great Race facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/greatracerally

"Don't mean to interupt, but why is this in "SketchUp Discussions" and not the Corner bar ?"
I would say because it's HellnBack working on one of his glorious cars and it's not just foolin around. It's a serious question about his work. Some people stay away from the bar & lounge because of all the smoke, booze and fights.

I appreciate that, Pete.
I'm thinking the sticker shows a guy sitting in a red sports car (you can see the fender line, and the round number decal on the door). And it definitely says "ACE". Since I've seen many photos of cars with these stickers all over their cars I think it may be for reaching a checkpoint at just the right time, since timing is everything in a rally race.
All this for two little stickers on a car window. Dang details are gonna kill me!!
-
Not yet the definitve close up original of your first post!
But it's progressing!
-
Turns out I was right about what these Ace stickers mean --
"An Ace is awarded during the Great Race every time a team gets a perfect score on a leg during the event. There are usually four to seven legs in each day. Everyone who gets an Ace is given stickers for their car and the team with the most Aces at the end of the event will win a $1,000 check."
-
But still no pic of the sticker, the OCD gods are out to get you.
-
here's some still not very close.

I may be missing the point and this IS off topic but, having just spent a shedload on the paint and metal fixes for my car, if someone put a sticker on it I would more than likely shoot them, and not in a nice way either
.Actually I reckon nailing their shoes to the floor while my sister extolls her latest theory of why we call the colour green, green bad enough, what she would call it I have never lasted long enough to find out.

I think that is true and these men are no different from us, this just goes to show how important these stickers or decals are to these guys. a big point of pride and the others I think are sponsors.
