I think it came out looking good

But it's pretty sad that they go run it at the track WITHOUT a helmut, or a seatbelt...
It looks like the first and the last guy have a belt on, but look closer, it's not buckled.

It was David Turner's Paint Shop near Chattanooga, TN. It's actually in Ringgold, GA.
