Seahorse Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 My turn for a silly question :happy feet: ...but what are fender stripes supposed to signify?! I tried a search and found lots of pics of 'em, but nothing as to why people put them on in the first place; are they a historical thing? Meant to show a certain level of power upgrate? What?

rpretzel Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Back in the good ole' days, racers put stripes on their fenders so their team could more easily identify them from long distance. Every racing team had their own stripe pattern/color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Kitty is correct. The stripes were a big help to the pit crew. Back then they did not have radios. Also certian stripes would help to identify "rookie" drivers, like kitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500FLYBOY Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 And now - we put them on cause it's cool - and we get little stickers from the track events that we participate in. The stickers can go on the stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 6-point. I put it in for track use only.
