What happens here

McReynolds enters the main shop area, which he describes as a very big, open space in its original form, currently used as a warehouse. He points out where the large setup plate was located, a perfectly flat, laser-cut concrete plate where race cars were meticulously set up every week. He recalls that the floor used to be epoxy, not the current tiled surface. He then shows a spot where the original green paint from the shop floor is still visible beneath a cracked tile, a testament to the King Racing era. The host comments on this discovery.

Goal: Visualize the former main shop and its critical setup areas.

But the only thing there was a room right there that was kind of a a suspension room. It's where they'd
