HALL OF FAME
Malcolm, In Color The famous Ed Horne image of Malcolm Smith flying across a dry lake (“probably Lake Chapala, but I’m not sure,” according to Malcolm) as painted by noted motorsports artist Tom Fritz. “Troy Lee called me,” Fritz told us, “asked if I’d do it, I said yes, he sent me the image, and the rest is history. Malcolm was incredibly helpful with the details I couldn’t see and also with colors, as the photo is black and white.” “My Dad took me to see On Any Sunday when it came out and I was about 12. Malcolm’s been a hero ever since, so doing this painting was an amazing experience for me.” Prints of the original (which Troy Lee graciously gave to the Smith family) are available at Fritzart.com.
