Photo update: If you attended the reunion and participated in the lap of the Speedway you should be receiving your on-track photo any day now. I received mine earlier this week.

Hello and welcome to the PCR. I know that there are photos out there. I was fortunate enough to run across someone quite a while ago selling some photos and I picked up the one of Jr. in 2005 and another from 2008. I just emailed him to see if he had any other drivers, he seemed to be primarily selling Earnhardt stuff. Another approach may be to contact the Speedway directly and talk to their PR dept. Contact links can be found on their website. Sorry, but these are the only ideas I have right now. I'll let you know what my guy says and I would suggest keeping an eye on Ebay. Unfortunately Daytona is a different animal than Indy. I hear that is due to Nascar and Chevrolet vs. the IRL. Indy really treats Pace cars as a major thing, and to Daytona they are just another car and after the race they are gone. I asked for some info and additional photos for the "real" Pace car and they said they did not retain any history and to try to find someone at Chevrolet who may be able to help. Stay in touch - if you are interested in submitting photos of your car for our Gallery, or an article about your car and the role it played, please do, I am always looking for good items to post.

Do you mean a kit to create a copy of the "real" 2004 Pace car? If so, there were only several "real" Pace cars produced by Chevrolet in 2004. The blue on the bottom is real paint, not graphics. This is true for the actual stripping too (or at least it is all under a clear coat). If you are a member, we have a very good photo story of them being painted and "dressed" prior to the race. There were also the White / Red interior "Festival cars" and Blue "Dealer driveaway" cars used at the track. These did carry a similar / simpler graphics package, and only replacements are available for owners of the cars from the original graphics company. Proof of ownership and VIN numbers must be provided to gain access to replacement decals I'm told.
We also have a nice web article on the White and Blue Festival / Driveaway cars in the Members only library site. If you have not yet joined, please consider it.

Hi everyone. We have had some discussion with Chino, the photographer who took the photos of the cars during the track lap. He said they have not uploaded any of the images from Indy to his website yet pending the shipment of the photos to the attendees. The reason for this is that he did not want people to start ordering copies of photos they are going to receive in the mail to begin with. The good news is that they do have them all printed and are in the process of sorting them as we speak. If all goes well they will be shipped out early next week along with website information for reorders and such. Once he gets that under way, he will follow up with us and I forward you a direct link to all the images on his site.

Hi everyone, as promised, I have uploaded a pdf version of the powerpoint presentation that I did at the 08 Reunion. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
To get to it, just go to :
MEMBER INFO - Pace Car Libraries and information - The Registry Documentation Library
Then select "Corvettes at the Brickyard".
You will need your member password that you received from Noel when challenged. You will also need the Adobe Acrobat / Reader software, however almost everyone should already have that installed on their PC. If you need it, let me know and I will provide instructions on how to download it for free from Adobe.
Enjoy!
