| I'm no expert but the Corvette Works Pratt & Miller Race Team have a very impressive entourage and equipment. There were two semi 18 wheelers with a third smaller, yet large car trailer. They need at least 3 drivers just for these rigs. The two Kenworth motivated race car haulers pulled trailers with antenna's that appeared to be a complete meteorological stations, not just for race communications. | |||
 The two Kenworths were set up with their canopies extended
in-between. This provided about a 60 by 60 foot covered garage space. Note
the smiling face pillows on the dash. |
|||
 The night before the race, all the equipment track side
was covered. |
|||
 We wandered into the pits before the race by accident.
The elevated seats with tool boxes, data and radio equipment is waiting
for the crew. |
|||
 A couple of hours before the race, the team was still
working upon these beauties in the paddock under the canopies. |
|||
 Every tool know to man was on hand except for farming. |
|||
 Notice the hood has no need for hinges or supports. The
line is the background was for the Corvette C6R drivers autographs. Their
line was the longest. |
|||
 Team members were examining what looked like a small
body panel. |
|||
 Just prior to the #4 C6R leaving the paddock for the
pre race ceremonies on the track. |
|||
 The roll out from under the canopy. After this they were
started and rolled right past me and I shop this Video:

 Pre race on the track with a hour or so to talk with
and meets the teams. I don't ever recall the general public being so able
to mix and mingle with the Corvette gritterati. |
|||
 To ensure my good fortune I simply displayed my NCRS
ID card to every track steward and official and I got access to all these
attractions. |
