The Corvette Exterior Design Engineer, Kirk Bennion, also handed me a poster this past weekend that really made me smile, see the image below:

Lance,
I can't tell you how thrilled I was by the look in your eyes last weekend. I hope ALL your dreams come true.

Bonne chance.

Lance, what a great tribute to one of the most significant Corvettes of all time. How neat that GM produced the One-Off tribute Corvette as well; and hats off to Kirk Bennion for having the dual image created as well. Did Kirk create it himself?

Dana-

Thanks for your kind words, I'm thrilled about how the effort is progressing. Yes, the tribute car was awesome without a doubt. Kirk did create the image himself, I'm thrilled and honored to have a copy.

I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Lance

PS I'm pushing a few die-cast model places to make a model, wish me luck!

It was nice catching up with you. I've got my sights set... I'm eager for Le Mans and can't wait to see what else transpires in the short 5 weeks we have until the big race.

Life is good,

See if you can get them to make some more posters. To see it in the flesh is really awesome. Kirk did a great job. I would really like one of them.

Kirik mentioned they were thinking about it. I'll keep you posted, I'll reach out to him and see what his plans are for it.

The Le Mans car was packed away into the crate today - life is good!

Lance - the Europeans (members of UK and Dutch Chapter) are still planning to attend the St Saturnin event on Friday prior to the race. I understand you will be there as well. Are you taking the #3 with you on Friday? It would be quite an honor to see the car; you have achieved a lot and we thank you for that. I hope to meet you in person there and have a real Dutch beer to celebrate your efforts. Cheers from Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Hi Lance, Congratulations are in order. Don't forget to fill #3 up with 100LL before you go. Just like your Dad did. God Bless. John

Lance,
What a great trip. Can you let us know where the car will be shown for the rest of the year, so that no one misses it if it is at a show that is close. Thanks.

Erik-

I plan on being at the Friday evening event, heck they're featuring Corvettes - I wouldn't miss it! I will also be taking the 1960 Cunningham Corvette along with me - life is good!

See you soon!

I'd love to take the car to the NCRS National event this year, however it'll still be in transit coming from France back to the US at that time. My plans are to showcase both the 2011 50th Anniversary Le Mans tribute Corvette along with the original 1960 Cunningham Corvette by its side during Corvettes at Carlisle which will be held August 27-29, 2010. Hope you can make it!

Sincerely,

Lance
