Take the Ride of a Lifetime at the NCM Anniversary Celebration
 Be one of 15 lucky people to take a victory lap in the very Corvette that Briggs Cunningham took to Le Mans in 1960, which won its class for the first time in history. During the 16th Anniversary Event September 2-4 at the National Corvette Museum, Lance Miller will be allowing a limited number of enthusiasts the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the passenger seat for a victory lap around the National Corvette Museum in this historic race car.
For a donation of $100 to benefit the National Corvette Museum and the Chip Miller Foundation, participants will enjoy two laps around the Museum with professionally shot pictures capturing the experience. Afterward you’ll get a complimentary photo, special poster and a certificate signed by Lance Miller and Wendell Strode to commemorate the event and thank you for your support.
Sign up for these limited spots through the event registration online beginning Friday. |
