Morning Tech line at PIR

The morning Tech Inspection at the first PIR race.   You just have to love seeing all those 160s together!

This is the pits where the famous "Flying Circus" hangs out.   It's also known as "The BeeHive," after the cool killer bee logo 160 stickers these guys had made this year.
