The Boyz are struggling with this as well Ember!!

They have a huge bar tab to pay off drinking the Roanoke Railhouse Beer for the inspiration - creativity, plus what they have invested in the build.

But it looks pretty darn cool tooling around the track in its current state!

PS: the straight pipes were made from solder making the bending very simple to execute, and a little dab of black sharpie on the ends completed the look.

Ember, the last time the Boyz zeroed out their tab, the owner of the bar was able to build a new wing to the establishment ( and it was a pretty good looking room if I say so myself!!)!!!

Looks awesome Denny! I think it will look better without the sponsors too, but do as you wish. The fuzzy dice are a cool touch!

Maybe the Boyz could make a trailer to pull behind the Nomad with a billboard on it?
(just trying to help) ;)
That ride definitely turned out SHARP!

Like that idea too!!

Crossed my mind, also thinking a lighted roof sign like you see on the taxis in Vegas.

If the Boyz weren't so "parched" so much of the time, they wouldn't be in this jam!!!

Now see, that's workable, I'm sure. How about I take some of these ideas to said drinking establishment. I'm sure the publican will see reason.

The Boyz soliciting the expert advice of casual onlookers to see if the roof tent sign is a viable option to present to get them out of this jam and preserve the integrity of the Nomad

Now put a large esky (cooler) and a keg in the back and it can be used as a mobile pub at race events.

Like the "solution" to the sponsorship! That helps get the message up where all can see it in a "crowd" as well - good marketing there! :)

With the several suggestions from HRW, the Boyz worked out a compromise and put a sign on top of the Nomad and build a trailer for sampling the "cold ones" during race day.

As you can see the "cold cart" has been vey popular already!!
