That is the poster that Lance posted a picture of back on his original thread about the unveiling of the white 2011 Commemorative car. Now if only Chevrolet would make copies of the poster available.

The sales it would generate might help GM's bottom line.

I'm still working on GM about producing a poster. If anyone would REALLY like one - start the bidding (during Corvettes at Carlisle). I have three extras that will help benefit the Chip Miller Charitable Foundation that Kirk printed for me prior to my departure to Le Mans. My plans are to get John Fitch along with Kirk Bennion to autograph them (2 for the auction in France & 1 for the US benefit auction). I will then frame it and have it out during the benefit auction during Corvettes at Carlisle for everyone to have an opportunity to own it - a great piece of history and a wonderful cause that's near & dear to my heart.

Life is good,

Well heck!?! I was hoping to get one for myself too... I guess I'll have to go back to the bank and get more Euro as well - so, how much do you plan on getting Gary?!?

All kidding aside, it will be a neat item with all proceeds going to a great cause (http://chipmiller.org)!

Wouldn't it be cool if the Commemorative Edition had removable red headlight covers it could run during the day like Lance's dad's car!?
Great Picture!

6/11/10


9:30am - until staging for the drivers parade


Great British Welcome

Great British Welcome, which 2010 Marquee of Honor is Corvette. Doug Fehan is Guest of Honor and the convenient thing is that all cars selected from their crowd to participate in the Drivers' Parade come down to the center of Le Mans in a motorcade escorted by police. You could join that. The '60 should arrive at the event no later than 9:30am. John Curtis cell phone #: ++33 (0) 621 542 396 (organizer of the event) FREE OF CHARGE - Everyone is welcome to attend!

6/11/10


4:15-5:45pm


Staging begins

Cars have to gather (pre-stage) in the center of town around 4L15 p.m. and the Parade starts only at 6 p.m.. This is unfortunately necessary, as this medieval town center with narrow streets becomes a giant mess in the afternoon! This will be an Police escort from the Great British Welcome to the staging area for the Parade. Lance and Judy will take the car down to the parade for staging.

6/11/10


6-7pm


Parade Begins

At the very beginning of the Parade, each car drives up a small wooden stage and driver and/or passenger are briefly interviewed by a master of ceremony. The whole thing is heard throughout the Parade route. Lance will drive with John Fitch by his side. John will enjoy the crowd and hand out hero cards. Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy the parade, it usually lasts for about an hour and most people said it's a "must see!" event.

6/11/10


7pm


Drive back from the parade

GERARD: Will it be easy for us to find the Corvette Corral once we depart from the parade? Can you supply me with directions?

6/11/10


7-?


Corvette Corral (Pig Roast)

We have a whole pig roasting at the Corral for a simple but fun BBQ, live music and relaxed chatting with our Corvette fans. No language problem with 90% of them: about 40% British.(although...!), 10-15% Americans (from US bases!). Dutch, Finns, Swedes, etc also speak English. We would be delighted to have your gang with us! That evening is obviously less noisy than the Saturday, so it's appropriate for speeches including, there, a thorough presentation of the Foundation for example. (I'll have laptop and beamer). Let's make sure you also bring posters to remain during the whole event, and again, those little cards would be made available for people to contribute later privately. I do not know the price of this event, I'll ask again to try and figure out the details and will let everyone know at a later date.

6/12/10


10am-?


Le Mans track Parade Lap

1960 Corvette will be at the lead of the parade of Corvettes with John Fitch driving and me as a passenger. Once finished the parade the car will go back to the Corvette Corral area for display purposes (and media exposure) - Everyone is welcome! This would probably be best viewed in the Corvette Pit Lounge if you're interested in watching, you will need your credentials to get access.

6/12-14/2010


24/7


Corvette Corral

1960 Corvette will be located in the secured Corvette Corral until picked up on Monday. Everyone can attend.

6/14/10

I have the above post in an Excel Spreadsheet - it certainly didn't come out as I intended - sorry. However it gives you a good idea of what we have planned during our short visit to Le Mans.

If GM does not do a poster take the file to Office Depot or Staple and have them do one in a poster size. I use a 13x19 printer and get good results with an image of this size.

Thanks Lance! It looks like you are extremely busy. I don't know if I could handle butterflies for a week straight! Have fun. I hope we get a glimpse of you, John, et. al. and the #3 on SPEED this weekend.
