On the south end of the Strip the
small shop resides in an older complex, of dusty buildings. On the
east side of the strip, a minimal pylon sign denotes the businesses
presence. At the top of a narrow, white, steel pole, a six sided,
internally lit, double backed, cabinet advertises the establishment.
On the yellow plastic face, "Pit Stop" is spelled in black
text, along with white text spelling "Diecast Collectibles"
on a black horizontal rectangle. Just below the crowning cabinet,
an arrow shaped cabinet is pointed to the bottom right hand side
toward the building. The cabinet is double sided with two legs creating
the head of the arrow, and the upper end formed by a tail of these
two legs. A double pinstripe of blue and red border the edges of
the cabinet's face. The word "NASCAR," is spelled in all
capital, red, text across the horizontal plane of the cabinet. Placed
cantilevering off of the west side of the pole, a square message
cabinet faces north /south. It is painted white on the exterior,
with a wooden face graphically treated with red white and blue text,
and a blue line border. The north side of the cabinet has no face.
A small steel cabinet sits on top of the cantilevered one, yet has
signage upon it.
