We just picked up our Rolex At Daytona passes at the IMSA credential office, and this is parked in their lot:
So, what exactly is for hire?
This must mean something to someone and, to be honest, we're stumped (and were too embarrassed to ask the guy who was sitting in the car). Is it a trucking thing? Spotter/race control? Old-timey pit boards for rent?

Well there would be no danger of it overheating while the guy in front of you at the turn 1 tunnel is trying to refinance his mortgage...
Could it be a freelance photographer looking for work?

The car is an orbital transfer shuttle built with Roswell alien technology, designed to get you to the L5 lagrange point. It runs with a 386 processor -- that old and slow because it needs to be radiation-hardened for use in the Van Allen belts.
maybe they just ran outta letters and numbers and that's all they could spell
no need to overthink it
Heh. "We left you a Note."
Lap 5, car #38 running in 6th place?
They're not related at all and the Versa's just propping them up?
Looks like a stolen taxiway marker from an airport.
I'd assume it's a guy looking to get paid for pit work, and he has his own signs.
I'm sure it's the lesbian thing though.

What a coincidence. I may be hiring.
Driver looking for a ride, that's his PAX #?
For hire means for rent. Outside of US
