Default "Save it for the track" decals

Was in a car show this past weekend and a man and his wife brought in a car on a trailer that unfortunately took the life of their teenage son while street racing. He lost control of it and wrapped it around a concrete light pole. This happened in 2003 and the white car still had the hundreds of notes his fellow classmates had written on it. I talked to his mother for awhile and she said she does it to try and send a message to teens about the dangers of street racing. I told her I was a member of the Corvette Forum and I thought I remembered a post about someone having a "Save it for the track" decals. She, and a few others around said she would love to have some of them. Does anyone remember anything about where I could get them?

Wow. Good for her. I call that making lemonade out of lemons. I never heard of the decals, but it is a great idea.

Your right. This may have been someones idea and I just read it wrong. Would be a good idea if someone could make them.

Seems a little morbid.

Maybe, but not to me. I understand the message she's trying to send. She also say's she gets a positive response from teens, exactly the ones she's trying to reach out to.

I also understand the message she's trying to send. Still, seems a little morbid to me.
