Blast from the past...

While cleaning out the garage of a lot of random stuff and yard sale day, I found these old ECORS patches from back in the day.

Had to have been what, 2009 or so?

Sounds about right. that was the first full year.

 

[ckruzer]

That’s a good idea.

Looks like @MarsFab and @zubz gets to add “seamstress” to their resume.

If y’all send some $ to the Scott Fields cancer expense benefit, I’ll send ya one.

How’s that?

I'm gonna say those are 2011, handed out with the racers info packs at beginning of the season.
Fall 2009 was the first race, at Callanatee.
First full year was 2010, DPG/Flats/Vale/Harlan/DPG. Fire suits weren't required until the final race of that season, that is when I bought mine. Seems like I had the firesuit first, then the patch came later, had the wife sew it on the firesuit.
Of course, that doesn't mean the patches weren't sitting around since before that

Looks like Tony’s memory is better than mine.

Tony nailed it.
Patches were part of the member pack for 2011, but not to be confused with the ultra rare qualifier patch from the 1st Harlan event.

Is it stupid that I still occasionally find shit like this and get sentimental as fuck?
I think about all the friends, the memories, the good times...then I think about what went into pulling off one of those weekends and
