Micheal Castiglione, better known as “Casti”, is as much at home with a design studio canvas as he is with cotton. Though a classic V8 kid at heart, Casti can muscle up to any automotive design challenge, and has spent his career drafting everything from the KIA Cadenza to the Dodge Challenger. His works of shirt art include "All Charged Up", "E To My Heart", and "Surf Sun Stance".
Casti put the pencil down to answer a few questions:
Back in May, some of the knuckleheads at BS HQ decided to try our hands - normally reserved for caressing soft cotton tees - at American Endurance Racing. With solid night of Mario Kart training, we declared ourselves ready for two gruelling 9h sessions on the Thunderbolt course at New Jersey Motorsports Park. So how'd we do? Read on to find out.
Think about the sacrifices you make to get on track: The pantry full of ramen, sleepless nights spent wrenching, and everything else it takes to get on the battlefield. Then savor finding a gap, that perfect pass, braking later, nailing the apex; all the thrills of wheel-to-wheel Motor Kombat. Now share that!
That’s right. Playing king of the shirt mountain at BS HQ is getting a little old. Next step? Endurance racing! We’ll be on track for a handful of American Endurance Racing events for the remaining 2017 season, starting with New Jersey Motorsports Park on May 20-21.
A high-octane high-five to all the fueled up fans that participated in our If It Has An Engine Tee Design Contest, thanks to our partnership with the sunny folks at Sunoco Fuels. Congra-tee-lations to Kathy Helmetag, whose chemistry-themed idea was transformed into the “Combustamove” design you see here by Chad Seip. The shirt will be available from Tuesday May 16th through Wednesday the 17th, so get your copy before it blows a gasket!
A big ol' thanks to all the fly ideas and designs submitted to our MX-Fly Tee Design Contest in partnership with Flyin' Miata, and congrats to Michael Incristo, whose "Re-Spec Your Elders" idea was selected as the winner! The idea was transformed into the tee-riffic "Re-Spec" design you see here by Ben Loopstra, which is available as part of the 25 designs in The Apex Everything Sale.
An additional shoutout to Eric Bell, whose torso-tastic NA headlight design snagged him the runner-up prize. Not only did he score some fine blipshift credit, but the design is likely to be made into a sweet shirt at a later date!
Judging by the countless awesome photos submitted for our My Best Apex Photo Contest, corners had better watch out! Based on popular votes, it was Ashton Harrison and the snap of her making a motorcycle out of an MX-Cup car at Watkins Glenn that scored her a copy of The Whole Shirt-bang containing a copy of each of the 25 Apex Everything Sale designs! Thanks to all who participated, and keep on apexing everything!
Track season is apex season, which is why we’ve resto-modded 25 top tees for The Apex Everything Sale! Better put on your HANS device and prepare for the T-forces, as this sale launches hard starting Thursday April 6 @ noon EDT through Monday April 10. Ready, set, apex!
Hook up the tires with a good launch and you may trap one of our early bird giveaways! A set of Snail & Cone Magnets could be yours with an early apex, but only for the first 500 qualifying* orders. Item appears in cart if eligible.
