TINA STULL: Hi, I'm Tina Stull and I drive the Top Dragster for Interstate Batteries. On behalf of Expert Village, today, we're going to talk about the basics of racing. If your sponsor doesn't provide you, where do you get it made? Well, most printers will make them up. It's probably good to look for a company that already does this because it's--in drag racing, a lot of people aren't familiar with the sport. They may not even know what a driver's card is. You really can get with the company that already produces these. The way that I would go about it as I would go--and the next time I'm at a race, grab a bunch of them, find out who's making them. When we designed my card, the first thing I did is went around to the other drivers and I looked at their cards and said, "Guy, what do I like about this card? What is missing?" You don't want to get them--I prefer a plainer card because there's not so much distraction and you get to put your message across. Other people like more busy cards or something that's got a lot more color in the background. One little thing to keep in mind is that if you sign the card, where are you going to sign it? If it's something like this, it would be a lot more difficult. You can see it's a lot more difficult. He had to sign right across the card. The way we've done ours is it gives me a spot to sign up in here so that I don't sign across myself or across the card, and it makes it a little bit easier.
