Chip's Choice Display: Featuring
Do You Have a Corvette that raced at Le Mans?
The 2009 Chip’s Choice theme will consist of Corvettes that raced in the 24 hours of Le Mans. There weren’t many of these cars so if you or you have a friend that happens to own one and might be interested in showing it off for 2009, please contact us at: lancem@carlisleevents.com. We felt that having the Corvettes that raced at Le Mans would be a neat addition considering the large Race Reunion that will be hosted for this year.
