Here are some pictures of the Beach Fun Fest held by the Corvette Gang of France. I was the guest of honor at the event held in the south of France at Marseillan Plage, Marseillan France. More then 120 Corvettes were present for the 3 day event. Thousands of people viewed the cars every day.

I have told American Forum members not to believe TV. The love of Americans and all things American by Europeans is almost overwhelming. They are more proud of our country, its people and its spirit then the news stations would lead you to believe.

I had left the activities in the south of France and was heading north towards Bordeaux , not knowing where I was to stay that night.

Tired , I stopped at a rest stop and had my head in my hands wondering where to go next, when someone tapped me on the back.

Startled, I turned around to find Alain and his lovely wife Christine standing behind me. I had met them a few days before and we talked about meeting again one day. Seeing the condition I was in they invited me to come home with them as they lived on the way to Bordeaux.

It was just fate that I should meet them and to my surprise , I learned that Alain was the owner of a French NASCAR team, with two cars, #17 & 18. NASCAR has been expanding its racing program in Europe and as luck would have it, I had a chance to interview Alain and to see his cars at NoGaro race track, 3rd largest track in France .

Here are some pictures of Alain at home and at the track. I have been invited by Alain to a NASCAR race at Le Mans in October and to watch his cars in the race. I spent two great days with Alain and his family .

Family including his mom in my car.








Alain's #18 NASCAR & Crew Alain also owns a 73 Corvette with a very American paint theme.

And the breakfast was not as good as your mothers. I think there was a ghost or two also.

Who knows I may be back as I head to Scandinavia. I may need snow tires.
