I couldn't get it to work, did somebody throw a competition yellow?

Nascar threw the yellow Bumper, mandatory tire check!!! Be sure to double click on the picture, and it should work. Glad to be able to give you guys a laugh...RM

Still just messing around. Sorry for the picture quality, just using the camera mini movie. Notice the Pole Positon Tower. It's an aluminum fence post, with computer made stickers on all 4 sides. The triangular sign is made from scrap MDF and plastic with stickers added. There's a dowel rod that runs from the bottom of the sign on top, to an electric motor mounted underneath the table. The dowel rod just force sits on the motor shaft. The motor came from a store drink display sign. Can you feel the wind from the cars as they blow by??? Almost like being there!!! Again, just double click on the picture...RM

For those interested, here's a picture of the motor I used. As I said it come from a store advertising display, potato chips, beer, etc., I forget. The black part is the self-contained motor with an extending shaft. The silver part holds 2 D batteries. The white tube is just styrene tubing that will slide over the shaft, then pin or glue it in place. Mount the motor under your table, get some box tubing to make the "sign pole", then cut you an advertising block to slide down on top of the tubing, which turns inside the "sign pole". You'll need a piece of plastic attached to the top of your pole, to act as a bearing for the styrene tubing to revolve in. A wooden dowell might be stiffer instead of tubing. Check in the train section of Walthers, they may have some type of train turntable motor that you could use. I've just noticed these type signs at a lot of the race tracks, whick look pretty cool to me. Just trying to help...RM
