2004 GOODYEAR RACING MEDIA GUIDE W/COPPER HOT FOIL DIE PLATE. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE OF "ONE OF A KIND GIFT FOR A NASCAR OR ANY OTHER RACING FAN. This is the 2004 Goodyear Racing Media Guide. It was printed in early 2004 just before the 2004 Daytona 500 race. These guides were not available to the public, they were only given out to the media before the different races, starting with the Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt JR. won the race that year but since this guide was printed before any of the 2004 races, it is not included in this book.
What make this so special is, the copper hot foil stamping die. It is made of about 10 pounds of solid copper. It was made by using an etching process. They needed an mirror negative supplied to the die maker of the images that they want to transfer to the paper. If you look closely at the pics, you can see that the wording and images are mirror images of the final product. This is how the hot foil stamping process works then and now. The cost of making this die was around 450.00 dollars. Most of the info in the guide is about the history of Goodyear, their support for the racing programs, their products that have been part of the cars that are racing and the people who made this happen.
As a bonus, the 2006, "the Thrill of the Race", 2010 racing guide and the 2012 racing guide are included. Each of these are printed with very unique printing, foil stamping, embossing and 4 color process with aqueous coating on the text pages. They are of the highest quality available. That is why Goodyear used this vendor for about 15 years to produce these Racing Guides.
