THE SHIRT:

This 54 year old t-shirt is in awesome vintage condition for its age with signs of age, wear and distress that give it amazing character and personality. The fabric has aged beautifully and has become extremely soft and comfortable. The shirt itself is actually remarkably clean and the white color is bright and crisp with just a few very minor discolorations which can probably be improved with careful spot treatment. There are a bunch of very small holes scattered around the front of the shirt and a couple more on the back - they add some awesome, and very authentic vintage character. The graphics, which were inked into the fabric the old way, feel just as soft as the shirt and show some awesome fading. This is a rare example of a very clean and fresh, yet also perfectly aged and distressed t-shirt. 

THE EVENT: 

The 1969 Bonneville Nationals stands as a historic chapter in the annals of land speed racing, held at the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. This event attracted speed enthusiasts, adrenaline junkies, and mechanical maestros from all corners of the globe, converging on the vast, shimmering salt expanse in search of record-breaking glory.

It was a year of innovation and ambition, as racers pushed the boundaries of engineering and aerodynamics. The salt flats bore witness to a dazzling array of vehicles, from streamlined motorcycles to rocket-powered cars, each vying for a slice of immortality in the record books.

Among the highlights was the presence of the iconic Goldenrod, a land speed legend in its own right. This four-engine behemoth had already set records in the mid-'60s and returned in 1969 to further cement its legacy.

The 1969 Bonneville Nationals captured the essence of human ingenuity, determination, and a relentless pursuit of speed. It remains a testament to the enduring allure of the Bonneville Salt Flats and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to chase records on its shimmering surface.
