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.
