Hey Kyle,

Here's my latest iteration of your racing chips. Let me know what you think.

I welcome comments, compliments and especially critique/criticism from anyone else.

EDIT 10/19: Redid text on back to "Great American Poker Race" instead of Grand Prix of Poker.

I like them alot, especially the bright colors. That's a great unique design.

John,

Those are really nice, I really like the design. I wonder if there is anything you can put on the top, in the background, to fill up that space.

Looking Good. The colors really stand out. Space could be a problem for the higher denomination chips though. How are you going to get 1000 on the hood of the car and still have it be readable?

Kyle - I'll mess around w/ some ideas and see if I can come up w/ something.

The set is for a low limit cash game, so I don't think there will be larger denoms. Also, the main denom (not on the car) is the important one, so even if it wouldn't be easily legible, I think a larger one would work out okay on the car.

More awesome work! You are a great chip designer!

Excellent... the matching denom on the car really helps make the chip for me. I'd have to see 'em printed out to decide on the colors but I definitely like them bright... good job.

Could also put your fav tracks on the back... thought I might prefer Charlotte Motor Speedway rather than Chapel Hill, NC on the back as another thought.

Also, might like just callin' it "The Speedway" at the top and maybe "Playin' in the Fast Lane" at the bottom??

I like the idea of different tracks on the back - Not sure exactly how you meant, but it would be cool to put a birdseye view of the track shape with the denom in the middle. Although I think they were wanting a more generic set. The "Playin' in the Fast Lane is a good suggestion, too.

Ultimately, the "text" suggestions I will defer to Kyle. The Speedway Casino was the name he requested - I tacked Chapel Hill, NC on the back on my own because he's a UNC Tarheel (BLECCCHHHH!! Heheh)..

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Nice, you even incorporated different car manufacturers in the scheme. Most NASCAR fans are biased to one out of the bunch, but it is nice to see a fair mix.

In looking at Chipco colors, it doesn't look like these would be able to be this bright.. I downloaded their color chart (from holdempokerchips.com) and may try to redo them w/ those colors.

Does anyone have first-hand experience w/ how bright Chipco's can be, and whether or not the chart on HPC's site is pretty accurate?
