Making the Mask
Left: The light cycle with countour
Center: The mask
Right: The cut out Tron cycle
The mask was made using by creating a contour with the intelligent scissors feature of iSissors and then saving the mask. The cut out image was built by:
1) Placing the cutout above the original as a new layer in GIMP
2) Making a mask using the whitespace in the new layer
3) Selecting that mask and then deleting the second layer
4) Cutting out the the parts of the first image that are not in the mask selection

Finishing the Image
Once I had the cutout I simply copied and pasted it into the NASCAR picture.
