THE PHIL HILL FAMILY
AND THE CHECKERED FLAG 200 PRESENT

Tribute to PHIL HILL on the 50TH Anniversary
of Americas First Formula One World Championship


Thursday November 10, 2011 6:00 p.m. at the Petersen Automotive Museum

Join us for an extraordinary evening honoring Phil Hill one of the
greatest drivers of all time!

The Great Phil Hill was America's first Formula 1 world champion in
1961 for Ferrari. He won his very first competitive race in 1949 in an
MG TC, and his last in 1967 in a Chaparral. He was the first American
to win a postwar Grand Prix in 1960 at Monza, and the first American
to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1958 in one of Scuderia Ferrari's
three 250 Testa Rossa entries. In the deadliest-ever era of
motorsport, he never broke a bone or shed a drop of blood. He was a
talent in Formula 1 and a genius in sports cars, a man who won at
night, in the rain, in the craziest of conditions, when everyone else
backed off.

Enjoy a delicious buffet dinner, live auction and a film program that
will highlight Phil Hills Formula One racing career and his
participation at Le Mans 24 Hours, where he drove from 1953 through
1967 during arguably the worlds most exciting era of long distance
competition.

Great Racing Drivers - Following the film, we will interview drivers
who accompanied Hill to Europe, and others who came after, to share
their stories of friendship and racing with the famous Phil Hill.
Names such as Jesse Alexander, Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, Jim Hall,
John Lamm, Denise McCluggage, and Carroll Shelby have been invited to
attend.

An exhibition of Phil Hill race cars, among them Bentley, Chaparral,
Cobra, Ferrari, Mercedes and Porsche, some being racecars our honored
guests drove to significant finishes, as well as memorabilia will be
on display in the Museum.

Tickets are available on the web at www.petersen.org or by contacting
