Custom T’s
of DC Racing
Ever wonder how CustomTs
Racing originated or how
the name came to be? In
1987, Larry Thompson
started a tee shirt
company, Custom T’s of
DC. He built that
business mainly screen
printing tee shirts,
caps, sweatshirts, tote
bags, etc for family
reunions, school
reunions, school
athletic departments and
you
guessed it… drag racing
events.
In addition to printing
items for the racing
events, the company
began selling tee shirts
and caps at the races.
The shirts portraying
the event name, racers
and race cars became
extremely popular. Larry
already loved drag
racing but being around
it added fuel to the
fire…he began
brainstorming about
promoting the fast
growing sport.
Since the tee shirt
business was already
popular with the racing
fans, the ideal name
would be CustomTsRacing.
It became a reality in
2001, with the promotion
of the first race at the
Colonial Beach Dragway
in Colonial Beach, VA.
It was a huge success,
Custom T’s was hooked
and wanted even bigger.
For the next few years,
successful races were
held and the fan base
continued to grow and
was demanding even more.
In 2008, CustomTsRacing
went to the next level
by promoting their 1st
Annual Doorslammer
Nationals at Maryland
International Raceway in
Budds Creek, MD. The
attendance and
participation was
outstanding.
The Doorslammer
Nationals has become an
annual event and several
additional races have
been promoted at
Virginia Motorsports
Park in Dinwiddie, VA,
Capitol Raceway in
Crofton, MD and Old
Dominion Speedway in
Manassas, VA.
CustomTsRacing has been
featured on ‘Let’s Talk
Sports’ with Glenn
Harris and on ‘Goss’
Garage’ with Pat Goss;
both News Channel 8 TV.
Large corporations and
small businesses, as
well as individuals have

major quests is to
