I won this off a RACERXILL contest. I guess it was in their WV office. Had it up over my son's crib for awhile, until I came home and my NOW X wife had pulled it down and threw it in the trash. I had planned on this somehow turning my son into the next RC. Was super bummed. Fast forward 17 years later, my son hasn't ridden a dirtbike in 10 years. Thanks CHRISTAL FOR RUINING MY DREAM. I'm happy you're a fat karaoke singing joke now.

EZZA posted this early on in this thread and if you haven’t read it yet, you should. I remember following along when it was going down.... page 2 has a surprise appearance by the actual photographer. Go check it out, and thanks EZZA for finding it!

There was just a couple on eBay within the last few weeks. The guy that took the photo posted in the link on page one here “grasping as straws”. I contacted him and bought one from his remaining stash. Might be worth doing a little digging and buy an original

Saving money up to get each one framed. Probably be a long time before the Pontiac poster is framed.

Yeah, it's an expensive one. I was quoted something like $400 to do mine, which is why I ended up having it mounted to foam core.

Yeah I figured it would have to be a 50% off hobby lobby frame. Be a pain to move around too but I wanted the poster Since I was a kid so it’s not going anywhere.

I emailed him to see about getting an original, but haven't heard back. Fingers crossed.....

Man, speaking from experience, get em framed! I have some Robert Williams art that I cheeped out on with framing, and really wish I didn't. Doesn't look as good. if I ever get this print, I'm dropping the money to do it right for sure.

He seemed like a nice guy. I'm sure he'll get back to you. I talked to him around June and he had roughly 20 posters left. He had moved a few times so some weren't in as nice of shape so he had different pricing depending on the quality you chose. Fairly pricey but worth it for something thats pretty rare.

sorry to hijack thread a bit but I’m searching for a new copy of this poster. Had it since I was a kid and after multiple moves without being framed it’s getting tore up

He did email me back. He has different quality levels all with their own prices. They are pricey, but well worth it in my opinion....

got a little damaged shipping but.....wtf can you expect from ups trying to send something that oddly shaped.

it's still perfect to me.

glad to see others loved it as much as i did........seriously has to be on the mt rushmore of moto shots......it's damn near perfection.

Thanks man! I’ve wanted the Pontiac poster for a long time but always missed out when they popped up on eBay. Thanks to a thread on here I finally found the guy who took the picture.

The top right picture I lucked into from a dealership. I don’t think they sold those to the public. Definitely one is my favorites.

Reviving this old thread because when I saw it, it reminded me of an RC banner that I got back in the mid 2000s from Twin Air in one of my larger orders. After a month of searching I finally found it stored away! Anyone else get one of these? This thing is about 7 feet tall, always thought it was pretty cool
