Awesome graphic on that shirt George. I'd buy a modern version of that one for sure.

Yup, it's pretty cool.  I can't say I own that particular one(it is owned by someone who raced a Ralph Muldoon framed dragster back in the early/mid 70s, and was a BIG regular customer of RC Engineering), but I have seen it in person along with several others and carefully photographed them with measurements to allow for reproducing it/them in the future potentially.  Lots of up front cost and effort to do it right.   Hard to justify for limited batches.  The original logo RC shirts were a priority to do at the time as a fundraiser for the RC Legacy cause.   Screw the initial cost on those... :P

I tent to hunt down original hipo sohc4 related items.  Some call it hoarding.... ;)

Hey Mike, how's it going with your friend's Muldoon dragster.  836 right?

I'd love to hear some details..... ;)

Bummer on the oil leaks from the built in oil tank.

 My friend that had a bike shop and owned my big 4 express drag bike had shirts that resembled that phase 4 shirt. Gives me an idea.
