Today's Starting Line Up

This is a painting I did for my husband who is an avid hill climb racer. He's the guy in the front car Number 95 waiting in line to do his time trial at Summit Point, West Virginia. The drivers line up and wait their turn to go around this flat track as fast as they can. The remainder of the year, they race up a curvy, winding hill against the clock and others in their "class". The class winner gets to take home a trophy; no money is won in this sport! The red car here is a Formula Vee, which is a volkswagon engine and frame with a race car body. Oh, these boys (and some girls too) and their toys!

This is amazing Linda. I love the different colors and patterns on the cars. You can really feel the excitement here. It's fun hearing the story that goes with this. I bet your hubby loved this!
What a fun image and colors to go with it. Can't wait for summer already.
Thank you. Yes, he does and liked watching how it progressed too. He's got it hanging in his office. Warmer weather can't come soon enough for me! The racing is a lot of fun as are the people who "pit" for their drivers. My nickname is Pit Crew Linda and he has it printed on his car! lol
