DIORAMA DETAILS: “Easter Eggs,” Pt. II

At the periphery, in the corners, under the bridges, there’s all kinds of things going on at and around Drag City…

Racing cars of all types awaiting inspection

Behind the scenes at Pit Row…

Just sittin’ on the edge of the sign, wastin’ time…

A spectator-possibly a track employee, judging by his clothing-takes the opportunity for a great view of the action over the sweeper turn

Under the boardwalk, out of the sun…

Maybe he’s a regular with special access, maybe he’s am employee at the Outlaw Garage next door, or maybe he just snuck in without anyone noticing: regardless, this simple young man is seated in a folding chair right up on the fastest part of the straightaway under the Dunlop Bridge…and seems to be loving it!

Smile!

Shutter bugs abound at the track, especially in the paddock, where this guy-who looks like a pro, considering his rig-is perched on the abutment of the pedestrian gantry for a perfect view of the competitors coming into the paddock from the inspection station

Doctor on call

A medical professional-a doctor for sure, considering his clothing-relaxes beside a Cadillac ambulance at the emergency vehicle garage, hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

Employees Only…

One thought on “DIORAMA DETAILS: “Easter Eggs,” Pt. II

  1. I love the stories and action all around Drag City! I wonder if they have figures of frustrated mechanics throwing tools like how I feel when I work on my car and run into problem after problem, ha ha! As always, great work and details! Thanks so much for sharing!
