I read "billboard at the end of my 20ft straightaway" and thought "uh-oh, that won't last long." Then I saw the guardrail in your photo.

My newly acquired "trash treasure" is a light, maybe a work-light, missing one of the lamps, but a neat piece. The lamps are really nicely done, and not cheap sheetmetal. Made in Hong Kong, no other ID on it.

Thank You, Jeff...
Eric, If you notice the billboard is just to the left of where the cars that can't make the curve end up. I bought the taller trees to catch the cars that easily get over the guardrail. I have one fast Indy car the made it thru the trees to the floor on one pass...

Here's one with a box, Jerry. No info on it however. They seem to lose their top lights.

| Those lights could make for an interesting illuminated yard, given you had the room.

Hmm, they sure do. Maybe made for Tyco and others. Very neat. Thanks for posting those, guys.
