Paul,
I'm happy to see such a positive response regarding the artwork. For those who
don't know the story behind the image, it is a commemoration of the the Nissan
Motor Company sponsored BRE #46 240Z that ripped the carpet out from under the
royal sports car racing industry when John Morton drove his car to victory in
1970, solidifying the first win for a Japanese sports car on American soil -
AT ROAD ATLANTA!
The artist is Hector Cadematori and the Original painting (32x22, gouache on
illustration board), framed, is available for $3,900. A four-color print of
the original (Image size 25.5 by 17.5) can be purchased for $150 at The Race
Market by visiting

The Mitty "poster" I sent is a preliminary design and is subject to change
(not by much I hope - just sponsor logos added and a rearrangement of the
existing logos), but the Hector Cadematori artwork is the official image of
The Mitty '06. Therefore, it will be on the posters, dashplaques, t-shirts,
flyers, and other promotional materials available at the event - but in all
cases, the image size will be smaller than 25.5 x 17.5 (most likely 17x12 on
the official Mitty poster). Artist signed copies of the original prints and
Mitty poster will be also be available at the event.
Regards,
Bill
