Kenny Roberts poster, curious about artist

I've had this poster for hears and it was a friends Father's before he gave it to me. He was a Yamaha rep in the 70/80s. Anyway I hadn't looked at if closely for years. It seems to be a poster of a painting. I was wondering if there were any OLDer timers out there that may know something about the artist. TIA

 

Think this may be him: Edwin Ingalls Obituary (2002) - Walnut Creek, CA - East Bay Times (legacy.com)

 

Thanks for the info. Sure seems like that was him. I'd like to see a collection of his paintings.

 

This is the only one I've found online:



Dan Gurney. Pretty cool!

 

That's a cool painting. The upper car is a Formula 1 car and the lower one is an IndyCar. Bobby Unser won the Indy 500 in 1975 with that car. I believe James Hunt raced the F1 car.

 

F5000 I think not F1

This is on Ebay, kinda cool. I like his style.

 

I believe you're right. A good friend of mine won the 24 Hours of Daytona in Gurney's Toyota GTP car in 1993.

 

I couldn't remember the drivers so a search gave me the answers: Rocky Moran, P.J. Jones and Mark Dismore.

I also came across this nice piece of work: https://sportscardigest.com/1993-daytona-24-hrs/

Dismore has a lot of the original memorabilia in his basement bar.

 

I knew I recognized that name, used to see his stuff in Cycle World way back when magazines were a thing.

 

Yeah, loved his stuff in CW. I even gave out some motorcycle-related Christmas cards of his a while back.

 

Back in the 90’s I worked with Rocky Moran and his wife, regarding a Point of Sale system at a retail store they had at the Mission Viejo Mall. Really nice guy, that later developed a kart track out in Beaumont, which was really nice. Only problem was land values went up much quicker than we all hoped, and he sold it off about 5 years later, turning it into commercial buildings.
