Re: Show us your roll-off pit areas!

The extent of the pit setup consisted of removing a couple bungee cords, and plugging in an electrical cord, and they were ready to run a competition. In less than 5 minutes, their pit area is fully set up. In fact, it rolls out of their trailer fully set up. Virtually nothing else is needed to be done once in the venue. During finals, over the course of 5 minutes they were able to move it to field-side, and they were back in business just as if they were back in the pit area, with no difference whatsoever. It's a masterpiece they've dubbed the "Super Pit" and I'm hoping they post more information about it online.

Anyhow, I'm calling this style of pit area a "roll-off" pit area. I'd love to see pictures of other teams that do something similar, particularly from teams who own a trailer they roll it out of.
Any chance there are pictures floating around of 973's pit? It sounds very interesting and cool.
