Petersen Publishing Company photographer Pat Brollier captured two hot-rodding legends hard at work on this day in May 1961. On the left is Mickey Thompson, who a year earlier became the first American to go faster than 400 mph in his four-engine Challenger streamliner on the Bonneville Salt Flats. On the right is Bill Burke, who set a personal milestone of his own at Bonneville in 1960. Piloting his tiny “Pumpkin Seed” streamliner, powered by an equally small 156-in. Ford Falcon engine (tuned by Ford engine expert Bill Stroppe), Burke set a Class D Streamliner record of 205.949 mph and earned himself a place in the prestigious 200 MPH Club.

What does it take to successfully launch a startup? If you ask someone who’s done it, they’ll tell you at some point during the conversation about the people who helped them along the way. The process of moving a concept to a fully functioning business can be daunting for young entrepreneurs whose resources may be limited, and it’s nearly impossible to accomplish alone.

SEMA’s Young Executives Network (YEN) considered this issue when developing the Launch Pad competition, a platform for up-and-coming entrepreneurs that was offered for the third time in 2015. It complements the association’s emphasis on developing a new generation of automotive industry leaders (as members of YEN, all of the competitors are under the age of 40).
