Custom ALMS Valve Covers (thread closed!)
I work for a company that makes custom valve covers for hot rods and muscle cars and I thought fore Christmas, I'd make my parents each a custom cover. They can put them in their office as a reminder that I've finally found a job and I'm finally making something of myself.
We have 3 custom laser engravers that can engrave extremely precise images onto the covers so for my mom, I'm going to make a Detroit Red Wings cover and for my dad, an ALMS cover.
So I'm looking for possible photos that I could engrave onto the covers for the ALMS one. I'm looking for photos that "define" the series. Whether it be pictures of cars, or "atmosphere" at the track, whatever pics you feel really give a feel for the series.
Thanks in advance

The esses (2 thru 7) at Road Atlanta with traffic on them taken from just behind 7 looking back through the esses. Lasered on the covers so when you open the hood turn 2 is at the firewall and 7 is at the front of the engine (orientation).
L.P.

I'm thinking this could be an awesome one:

There's no money involved here. It's me doing it as a gift for my dad. Not me making and selling them...

Ah but you see just because there's no money involved doesn't mean squat when it comes to US copyright laws. You wouldn't have a leg to stand on if your use is outside of "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. " A gift for your dad, be it noble, doesn't fit in there.

Well I highly doubt the ALMS is going to sue one of their biggest fans because they put their logo on something as a gift for their dad...
It would be quite sad if they did...
