Ron Zitza's car (the one with the eyes on the back) freaks me out...

The car was sponsored by Millenia Fine Art. The eyes are a graphic of Steve McQueen peering through his open visor in the movie "Le Mans"! On one side was a pic of Clint Eastwood circa 1971. The other side was a shot of Frank Sinatra in 1968. The hood was a graphic of Raquel Welch in Barbarella. Stunning!

got anymore???
I took lots of racing pics. I'm sorting through to post some of the best.

Rob 10-4 on the eyes a bit creapy for me, could not image being somewhat blurry-eyed and encountering that during the early AM hours.

It would be great to see some after pics of the same cars, the toll that race takes is incredible

Great pics. The cars in the garage area sure looked a lot different Sunday morning! Seeing in person just how badly those cars get beat up over the course of 24 hours was enlightening. Lots of body colored duct tape around.

"What a difference a day makes."

Beautiful cars in the pix. Love the eye shot. Brand new, well they were.

What do you have to do to get access like that?

In my case, I was an SCCA corner worker and had access to the garage, pits, corners, etc.
