Attended the 2011 24 hours of Lemans race this past weekend. PICS!
UPDATE:::*I just added even more pictures. I had an unbelievable opportunity to be in in Paris for the week of June 8th-14th and attended the 2011 Lemans race. What a thrill as I was in the pits, on the track before the race sitting in the #73 Corvette and taking video's/Pics from the Chevrolet Corvette suite just above the #73 and #74 Corvette pits. Take a look. Will add more and even posted some video's on youtube.

Won it
I won a National Corvette sales contest. 16 Chevrolet dealers in all, attended the race and stayed in Paris for the week of the 8th-14th. A once in a lifetime opportunity, check that off the bucket list. Below is a video I posted to youtube. I took this while standing just above the Corvette pits in the Chevrolet Corvette suite.

What a great experience.
Thanks for letting us less fortunate share in your good fortune.
I'm guessing such an honor didn't exactly come easy. Well done.
