Race Pit picture wanted

[trackdog]

Some of you know we just moved our shop to a much better shop oriented location. We now have about 3500 sq. ft. of shop area and big doors on both ends for great air flow. This was a must when we were looking for a building.

My painter does professional murals, in fact he was one of the painters that did the huge mural on the side of the Dallas fish aquarium building. If you have not seen this it is about 3 stories high. Anyway he wants to paint a big mural on our inside shop area. We decided to do a mural with a life size race crew standing behind the pit wall ready to jump across. I have been searching but have not seen any good photos that would work. What I think will be ideal is photo showing the crew with helmets on, one with a fuel hose or tank, one with a jack and the others ready to jump over.

I thought this would be an easy picture to find, but nothing yet I have been able to search out. Don't care about the team, just needs to be good enough to be able to be projected on the wall so it can be outlined.

If any one has the time to search or actually have something I would really appreciate it. If you come up with something good and we use I would be glad to buy you dinner at Bone Daddy's.

Please send it to my regular email please, [email protected].

Thanks for your help.

I have one that I took from the Houston Grand Prix a few years ago. I believe it's the Audi ALMS team with the car pulling into the pit for a fuel stop. I'll email it to you when I get home.

In the meantime here are a few that I found

I like this one but swap the Honda logos for Mazda ones.

Actually, this one is better.

Super Aguri is not even a team anymore.

How about he paints the faces of DFWMiata members onto the crew? We could have a drawing to see who gets on it

Wow, this looks like us at a tech day:



I'm looking for pics but I can't promise anything.

[MadMonkey]

Okay, here's a few shots. Unfortunately there's no walls, but that would be simple to add. Might make a good starter reference











Let me know what type would work best, and I'll narrow my search.

[CosmosMpower]

Here are the ones that I took







This one is cool even though it's not a pit picture

Searched 'women pit crew', came up with this:




Go Air Force!

Man, those are some great shots and I appreciate the responses. What we are wanting to do is have a mural that you could pull your Miata in front of and look like you are coming in for a refuel, get the drift. Ideally we don't won't to have a car in the picture, only prepared crew people ready to jump, plus a couple of umbrella girls on the side (and you thought I forgot). The pictures that Mad Monkey and Cosmos have might be close and I if we can not find something better then maybe we can fire some of the guys standing there bunched up and spread them out a little.

Keep them coming please.
