In motorsports, a pit stop is where a racing vehicle stops in the pits during a race for refuelling, new tyres, repairs, mechanical adjustments, a driver change, as a penalty, or any combination of the above. Not all of these are allowed in all forms of racing.
The pits usually comprise a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics (also called a "pit crew"), depending on the series regulations, while the driver often waits in the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved or in Motorbike racing).
Depending on the circuit, the garage may be located on pit lane or in a separate area. Most North American circuits feature a pit lane with a number of pit stalls (typically 30-50) and a pit wall that separates the pit lane from the infield, with the garages (if used) on a separate road in the infield. In races where there are different series racing together, each series has its own separate garage or are parked in their own area. Circuits in other parts of the World (used in Formula One) typically have the individual garages open directly onto the pit lane through the team's assigned pit box. In American English, it is common to drop the definite article and just refer to "pit road", whereas in British English one would always refer to "the pit lane". A further difference is that in British English, the term "pit box" is universally used, whereas in American English, one would say "pit stall". It is important to note that in NASCAR, a pit box is a tool (see below), though there is a definitive term used for them.
Pitstop may refer to:
Pit Stop is a 1969 film directed by Jack Hill. It stars Brian Donlevy and Richard Davalos.
The original title was The Winner but it had to be retitled when Winning was released. It was retitled Pit Stop even though there is no pit stop in the film. Jack Hill saw figure eight racing and he thought it was so "crazy and so loony" he wanted to document it. The film has come to be regarded as one of Hill's best, even though the fact it was shot in black and white hurt its commercial success. It has earned a cult following.
Although the soundtrack is credited to Seattle psychedelic band The Daily Flash, the group had in fact by this time disbanded and is in fact by post-Daily Flash project Two Guitars, Piano, Drum & Darryl.
Mystery, The Mystery, mysteries, The Mysteries, or mysterious may refer to: Something that cannot be explained or comprehended. Any action, affair, or event so obscure or concealed as to arouse suspense, curiosity, or fear is a mystery.
The Mystery is a Grammy nominated album by Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, released in 2006.

Some walls are made of stone
sometimes we build our own
some walls stand for years
and some wash away with tears
Some walls are lined with gold where
some hearts stay safe and cold
some walls are made from doubt
holding in and keeping out
If there's any hope for love at all...
some walls must fall
If there's any hope for love at all...
some walls must fall
Some walls are built on pride
some keep the child inside
some walls are built in fear that
love let go will disappear
If there's any hope for love at all...
some walls must fall
If there's any hope for love at all...
some walls must fall
How will you ever know what might be found
until you let the walls come tumbling down
If there's any hope for love at all...
some walls must fall
If there's any hope for love at all...
some walls must fall
