Posters & Programs, etc. from the early days of the Long Beach Grand Prix

In 1975, at the age of 19, and before the first Long Beach Grand Prix, I joined the “Committee of 300” as a Founding Member. For the following twelve races, I co-hosted the world’s top motorsports journalists as volunteer coordinator in the Deadline & Working Press Room for the inaugural Formula 5000 race in 1975, followed by eight World Championship Formula One events and seven Indy Car races. Along the way, I collected a few leftovers after each race. Here are a few items that have been hidden away in the workshop.

I left the C-300 after the 1986 race after redirecting my shrinking free-time to promoting another legendary Long Beach race, the annual Catalina Ski Race.
