Seams when a car has "no clothes on" the paddock pit becomes a no pictures event...

I go on an invited tour and of course as I walk in I'm taking pictures at everything I never seen.. thebrakes.. the carbin fiber chassie the driver controls and 3 of the seven lap tops that are all being inputed with some data...

Well the race team manager puts on a rag and says ," there is no pictures with the clothes off the car... I would appreciate you deleting them as they are not for public viewing ...

He came off shitty... I don't do Shitty.. so I said dude I ain't taking pictures of your girlfriends tits...well the head mechanic laughed as much of the team did as well...

I did make a motion of deleting them.. but I guess something went wrong.

I guess they don't want people copying their setup or what not. The things they spent money to learn.

Like when Glidden wrecked his car and it ripped the whole front end off.
He jumped out and threw his jacket over the engine. Hiding his super secret induction system no doubt.

Didn't want anyone seeing his intake ports and runners.

Bob was a cool dude.

We talked the SpaceX guys into a tour of the Boca Chika space port in south Texas ..

There was absolutely no fuckin around with cameras and phones when we got behind the curtains ..

The Raptor engines are badass 👍🏼

I was talking to a head honcho from the NRL, I axed him something about a project I'd heard of, he got kind of weird and changed the subject real quick. Been to a place in town where they regularly run this contraption down the hallway scanning for cell phones. You don't want to get caught with one. Couple guys where I work got their fancy new iPhones taken away and locked up for months.

I've worked on race teams where the public gets to see certain things, and are given the impression they're seeing all the critical details, or are told everything there is to know. That's just not the case.

I've yet to see a "how it's done" article or video that was entirely forthcoming. No team is going to give away their hard-won secrets.

They have a two Gtp prototype hybrid .. and a Whelens/Cadillac car.. I can't get near the two Cadilac cars no matter what.. they will only let me get into the Whelens car area.

To put that introspective the Whelens car breaks..the other two don't. Corporate engineers rule the team and they ain't friendly. Joe Smoe types like me.

They doing the ISMA Endurance series and they going to give LEMANS a try..

Corvette also has a zo6 entry in the series.
