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.

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.

Many years ago, I made my own silk screen t-shirts with the IMSA loga and a picture of one of John Greenwood's corvettes.
I wore them for years to race tracks and was never threatened with anythng. If questioned I simply said I made it for me. Bob |
