Green and White are the tire walls - actually the huge canvas material in front of them.

You can get a better view of it here at the top of T5.

Woah ... just realized this thread got more responses than I was aware of. Did RA last month and got "promoted" to 3 solo. Not sure if I wanna go any higher.140-something down that back straight before the bus stop left was pretty damn awesome!!!
