As you can see from the rather large amount of nicely detailed equipment provided with this kit, your atlas model 1408 pit stop is able to handle just about any emergency repair or servicing job. You will want to provide a pit stop for each of the entries, racing your track, that is sponsored by one of the many car manufacturers who long ago came to recognize the publicity value to be had from a favorable showing by one of his cars. Atlas makes it easy for you to do this by providing roof signs by several different manufacturers with which you can identify a particular sponsor’s pit stop. Also, you can cull the names of several dozen other manufacturers from any of the many popular automobile magazines. A few minutes with a pair of scissors will give you more roof signs than you can use.
