Summit Point 12 Hour Endurance Race
http://chipmiller.org
The Chip Miller Charitable Foundation and Carlisle Events are happy to
announce their efforts to join forces to gain exposure for the deadly disease Amyloidosis, which took Chip Miller’s life in 2004. Two options to
be a part of our team are available, with the proceeds going to the Chip
Miller Charitable Foundation, a not-for-profit 501 C (3) corporation.
One of the two Corvette Z06’s that will be raced during the 12 Hour
Summit Point event will be driven by Bill Miller III, Todd Sprinkle and
Lance Miller. Lance Miller mentioned the following: “We’d love for the
Corvette community to come out in force to join us in our efforts to help
raise awareness for Amyloidosis and at the same time have fun! We’re
dedicated to making this event one you won’t forget, so please consider
coming out to join us with our efforts.” Bill Miller III went on to say: “I
have thought of endurance racing as the ultimate motorsport most of
my life and I am so excited about this opportunity. Just the energy that
revolves around this type of racing is amazing to me and to be able to
share this with Lance, Todd and the second team of drivers and the
crew, will be a dream come true. If you have not seen endurance racing
in person, this should be a must do experience!” The two options available for a weekend of fun, fuel and speed are:

Found in the Desert - The two Corvettes that will be raced by Carlisle
Events Racing have their own unique history. For the first part of their life
they were driven by students of the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix, Arizona. According to maintenance records,
the C5 Z06 Corvettes were also used by GM Performance in testing their
high performance and racing parts.
Running at the Point – The 12 Hours at the Point is an endurance
race for sports cars and sedans hosted by the Washington Region of
the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). 12 Hours at the Point is one
of three events that comprise the Triple Crown of SCCA amateur endurance racing and is also the oldest perennial SCCA-sanctioned endurance race. The Carlisle team will be one of the few Corvette teams
ever to participate but ready to face the Mazda RX7s, Porsche 993s and
Ferrari 348s that have won the race in the past.
Winning for a Cause – In March of 2004, Chip Miller, Carlisle Events’
Co-Founder & Corvette race enthusiast, passed away from the little
known disease Amyloidosis. The Chip Miller Charitable Foundation was
formed shortly thereafter to help spread awareness of this disease and
raise money for educational and research purposes. It is the number
one goal of the Carlisle Events Racing to use the Corvette endurance
team as a high-profile method to call attention to a dreadful illness that
can kill within 18 to 24 days. As stated by owner/driver and son of Chip,
Lance Miller, “The number one goal of the Carlisle Events Corvette Endurance Race Team is to help spread awareness of Amyloidosis and
raise money for educational and research purposes. Goal number two:
WIN RACES!”
