I don't know who designed it, but the new "look" is wonderful. Captures the experience about as well as one could with a "cartoon".
Excellent!

A picture would be worth a 1000 words here Jim...
Those of us not living in the land of fruits and nuts have not seen it :| :cheers:
-
For the those that struggle in the heartland of America, here you go... :-D
I just googled it........... :-o

Sorry S-less. But the only pictures I have are right side up. I'll need to go back and shoot one from your "on my head" perspective so as to not confusilate you.
No, no... no thanks needed. I just want you to know I'm thinking about you... 'specially the way you say "fruits and nuts".
OOPS! Looks like somebody beat me to it. Oh well, just turn your monitor over so it looks "normal"... Enjoy!

The poster is great even if it doesn't have a motorcycle on it. But why the BLM logo? Did they contribute something?

Of course they did. They got us closer to sea level for a better tune by selling the Salt out from under us. :wink: Wayno

It's awesome!

Great poster, now I will be REALLY antsy for my tube to arrive!!

This year's poster was designed by Larry Erickson. Larry, an old friend, called and asked if he could submit a few designs for consideration. Larry is a graduate of Pasadena's Art Center Design school. This campus has turned out many noted auto designers over the years. Larry used to wander the pits with his pad and color pencils during Speed Week. He would do a drawing on site and sell for $10, earned his cash that way. I have two of his drawings hanging in my den.
Larry ended up working at GM and Ford following his schooling. He is building front drive blower Mod Roadster for the salt.

Dan;
If you see Larry, ask him if he knows Dave Cummins, another Art Center graduate who worked for Chrysler.

Neil,
I hope to see Larry at Speed Week, he now lives in Michican.
Oh yeah - BTW (for Stainless) the BLM logo has been on the poster for the last few years. Not my decision.

GREAT poster. Picked one up at EM and it's going on the shop wall. Like to see more like this one in the future! I assume the T-shirt will have the same image???
-
I agree, best poster since I started in 02. Gotta love that it is THE BADDEST ROADSTER EVER on it.
-
Got my tube yesterday, now what do I do with 2 weeks of vacation?
-
Extra time to put a real super tune on the 7 between the Maine and harvest meets now.

"Gotta love that it is THE BADDEST ROADSTER EVER on it."
Ah -- you youngsters.
Knowing you, as I do, this one would more suit your liking . . .
-
Good idea, Ed! See you at Loring?
It is a great looking poster, already on my wall.
-
Plan now is ETA late morning/early Fri afternoon, get underway again Sat afternoon for the coast, part of a mini family vacation this trip. Do we look for the 'Burb and open trailer or the express hauler that the 7 rode up in for the Spring meet [so I heard :-D]?
Looking forward to seeing everyone "up n the county" again.
Safe and enjoyable travels for everyone,
Ed

Got my tube here in the UK a few weeks ago, brilliant poster, had it framed to remind me of how much it cost me, about $5,000 I guess. A few of my mates want one, can they buy them? Any links? My Indian returns to the UK in early October, never even got it out of the shipping warehouse :-(
Still got Salt Fever though, hoping to do it in 2016.
