Okay, you are hooked up. The engine package looks great,you have four new tires and a few spares.But whats missing? Fuel? No,got that!How about a good looking wrap? Yeah, but where do I go for a really quality job?

Does this even matter? Do looks matter? Well, consider this. Your opponent comes in a 47 foot trailer, with a high top and the gleaming silver that contrasts well with the fresh blue. Numbers emblazoned with highlights. It is like your prom night and the rapture of a breath-taking lake.Its like a new suit from a top store as opposed to one from the Salvation Army.

Appearances do matter and they do because it makes an impression. People like winners and a good wrap, a good crew and a few quality parts you just might upset the big dog. And the impression you make, is you are someone to be dealt with.

Like a $2,000 suit,you feel good and that part of the battle. As your firebreathing dragon roars to life you feel the thunder and hiss of your tricked out sled. People come up to you and you matter.

So who do you go to? How to get your car dressed to the nines! One place is Showtimes Signs and Designs. The owner is Bradley Poor who has parlayed his love of racing with an artistic flair and edgy designs.

Whats more Bradley is a driver as well and a winner of 52 features, two championships while racing with the Sportsmods and a couple or more second and third place points finishes.His skills as a racer and a person who can sell himself to sponsors factors into his success.

When I first saw his wraps I was amazed and the people doing these wraps have revolutionized the sport with bold schemes and thus have sold the idea of the need of a wrap as important as a transmission.

Bradley is a family man too and has been married for 3 years to Stacy Poor and a beautiful daughter of nearly 3,Layla Jo. Doing 250 wraps per year is demanding and yet I have noticed his work has not suffered.His product is so good that he can make any car or rig or private conveyance.

He bought his business in the year 2007 from his former boss at Danz Designs.He has also managed to get sponsorship from Evan Williams Bourbon and Coors Light. These major sponsors and the smaller ones enable success in the sport of racing. You see, the sponsors see the wraps and a good wrap makes a good impression.

You racers get this and many racers spend a lot of time dreaming how their cars can look and I am sure that Bradley and the Poor family can bring home the bacon.

If you get out to Abilene go and visit the Poor Family and watch them race and if you need a sharp wrap, I think that he could definitely deliver on that.
