If you check with SVRA they have guidelines on this sort of thing...VSCDA
discourage any kind of advertising....If I remember correctly, SVRA has a
limit in square inches.

The scofflaw that I am, I have a couple of prominent Roadster Factory decals
on my car and no one has ever approached me on it.

There are others who would sport nothing on their cars...but you will see it
on some.

Others may have more opinions for you.

   John,

 I haven't a problem with Joe or the FOT using the art work I 
 designed. I provided to the group gratis. 

 Please let me know if Wirsbro will be using my art for "promotional" 
 purposes because that means someone is making money from my sweat
 equity. I would like some form of compensation for its use either
 paid to group or to me. I can't afford to race with the rest of you.
 By writing and doing photography I get to spend more time at the  
 track than I could justify to my pocketbook and to my family.

 If you need copies of the original, I will be happy to provide 
 color and black and white copies of their computer files at the  
 cost of my time for sizing and whatever storage media you require.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
