I told myself after Cherokee on Saturday I'd never wear my first ever uniform again.  Too many patches, too many holes, too many tears.  Too many great memories.

Won my first race in it, been caught on fire once, a few great fights, and knocked out a few times. 

Main reason I wore it for so long is cause I'm a big guy around 310 pounds and it just always left me feeling comfortable in the car more than others.

What are some cool and unique ways drivers have preserved their favorite uniforms over time?  Once its clean, i don't want to throw it in the closet and forget about it.  Some of the greatest moments I ever had in life involved putting that uniform on just moments before!

While not that original of an idea either build or have built a custom shadow box. Display the drivers suit either in full or partial (top front half) and 4x6 pictures throughout the rest of the case of what you would consider major events/wins in the suit.

While similar, why not ask your local dry cleaner for recommendations.

There are companies out there who will clean, presefve and store a wedding dress. Archiving your uniform would be a similar preservation.
