TERLINGUA Racing Team
The Terlingua logo is black and yellow, with a rabbit holding its paw in the air.  How it came together is quite a story.  The whole thing actually got started when a group including Carroll Shelby, Dave Witts, Tom Tierney, David E Davis, Jr. and myself (Bill Neale) would go down to Terlingua to hang out, hunt deer, ride motorcycles, have some drinks and eat real well.  Usually these trips would last anywhere from four to five days.  We would get down there in many different ways, but most of the time we flew down on Shelby’s DC-3 which he would bring to Dallas from Los Angeles.  We did this two or three times a year.
After purchasing the more than 200,000 acres that made up the Terlingua Ranch, and while trying to decide what to do with the land, Shelby and Witts decided to do something to benefit the Terlingua community by developing a technical school for young men.  Brewster County is a very sparsely populated area, and these young folks couldn’t afford to travel the nearly 100 miles to the nearest schools.  There were literally more goats living in and around Terlingua than people.  The boy’s technical school effort got off to a good start, but later fell apart for many reasons, most of them political.
While we were working on the school idea, Tom Tierney came to me and said “Bill, wouldn’t it be nice if you designed a Terlingua Ranch logo?”  Tierney was a public relations man who worked with Ford Motor Company.  We met early one morning for breakfast at the Rafter’s Club on Northwest Highway in Dallas.  The first logo was drawn on a paper napkin, and we chose the colors, which were to be yellow and black.  Tom is the man responsible for really promoting the first Terlingua chili cook off in 1967.  At that time, the logo consisted only of the rabbit, the sun and the three feathers.
