Hey All. I am not totally done with this, but I got it this far. I am going to do some reworking, but I think you can get the idea of what I am going for. I wanted a cool background for taking pics of my models (and my friends in the Model Car Mafia) I made thing out of foam-core and some sheet plastic. I have a Christmas tree, but I can never got it in the pics without showing off of the lay out. Can any of you SoCal guys see where I paid a little tribute to the old late great OCIR? I am infatuated with that old track. even though I would not have my Firebird Raceway if it was not for OCIR closing. I sure think that , that was a shame. When I think of drag strips. THAT is the track I think about. Never got to go there. But I digress... Hope you all like it. Matt

I grew up in OC & spent many happy hours there both as a racer & spectator. In fact, I don't know how many times I've stared at those Champion Spark Plug decals on the tower... While I hate to admit it, I've gotten a real close up view of those before..!
Seems like that's not the only tribute I see..! The names Frank Benette, Drew Martin, Gregg Reichard & Denise Conte all come to mind... I'm sure I missed something but considering I didn't grow up in AZ you'll need to cut me some slack..!
Hizoot ;D
