ok - this is weird - at BIR about 7 years ago; guy from my neighborhood
who has been to every BIR national, yet spends most of his time in the zoo
and usually gets no closer to racing than the finish line, and sometimes not
even that close - was at his campsite b.s.ing and asked him if he wanted to
go to the pits (was on my golf cart) - he said sure, haven't been there in years,
but let me get something first - comes out of his camper with a manila envelope;
i ask what's inside, he says you'll see - go to prudhomme's pit and
lo and behold he sees don and he comes over, my friend takes this same artwork
out of this folder and has don sign it - don even said something to effect 'don't
see too many of those around'.....his was a 4 or 5 page foldout from an old
magazine - he'd been storing it all those years - it was in perfect condition.
never seen that piece again until rite now
- thanks martin.

'Blood is still around ... he did the design on TJ Zizzo's car that ran Vegas 2 and Pomona 2 last year.
Cool stuff Martin ... now you just need to get the Snake to sign it like Mike's story.

And look what I found
Kenny Youngblood- still some of the most beautiful art in motorsports
You knew you made it in the day when 'Blood Did It!!
You should post this in the marketplace so people know it's for sale and for how much?I'm still keen on selling off this collection...
When I was somewhere around 10-13 years old (mid '60's), Kenny worked at the same company as my father in Pasadena. We lived in Glendora at the time and one afternoon he came by the house and he and my dad spent some time out in the garage working on a gas powered model airplane. I'm thinking he was in his early twenties.
Before he left, he opened a folder he'd brought along and gave he a handful of drawings of dragsters he'd done. I remember being super impressed with his talent and was quite surprised that he'd part with them to someone he just met. I hung on to those drawings for many years and unfortunately they went missing on one of my SoCal moves. Bummer. I'd loved to have sent them back to him after all these years.
