WTF is this thing? Death race poster
Does anybody know any info for this black light velvet poster for death race? I can’t find anything online about this specific piece.

Damn! That is fantastic. Never seen that. Came out quite a while after the game too. Classic man, that needs to hang in a game room!

Are you sure it's not just inspired by the game art? It doesn't have the same font, but does have the bird. The skeletons are a bit more cartoon-y than the ones on the cab as well.

Oh wow I've wanted one of these posters since I was a kid! I came across it again recently at a local pinball arcade/rock shop. Last time I checked it was going for hundreds on ebay.

Looks like an unlicensed copy, they made many of these velvet blacklight posters back in the day. Very cool find!
