The Tour DuPont has become <br />one of the biggest international sporting events due to the volume of world-wide <br />recognition it has received. I am pleased to announce this year's race route will be <br />passing through your jurisdiciton. <br /> <br />Last year over 40 million homes around the world watched the Tour live or by satellite, <br />and over 1000 newspapers and periodicals carried stories about the event. The 1994 Tour <br />DuPont will offer network coverage, nightly cable coverage (ESPN), daily international <br />feeds to 88 countries, and local highlights and news coverage. Specific details regarding <br />broadcast times will be available in the near future. <br /> <br />The dates for the 1994 Tour are set for May 4-15. On May 14 we are racing through your <br />jurisdiciton. The race will be traveling along the routes outlined on the attached maps. <br />The North Carolina State Highway Patrol will provide a rolling escort for all racing <br />within the state, and will also serve as the coordinating group for the involved local <br />public safety agencies and municipalities. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol will <br />coordinate a meeting with all local police jurisdictions regarding the race passing through <br />each individual jurisdiction. Our contact at the North Carolina State Highway Patrol is <br />Major C.F. Patton, who can be reached at (919)733-4030 if you have any additional <br />questions. <br /> <br />The Tour DuPont, as well asthe North Carolina State Highway Patrol and Department of <br />Transportation, want to be sure each local jurisdiciton along the route is aware of, and <br />endorses these activities. As the owners and operators of this event, we will provide your <br />jurisdiction with a certificate of insurance on our $5,000,000 liability policy. For us to <br />send this certificate, the insurance company requires a written or permit that states your <br />jurisdiction is aware of, and endorses these activities. I have included two samples of the <br />types of written permission we must receive. It is important to include the specific phrase <br />you would like to appear on the certificate, and to who the certificate should be sent. We <br />must receive the permit no later than April 20, in order to process the information. <br /> <br />Your assistance in this endeavor is appreciated and will aid in its continuing success. <br />Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions or require any additional <br />information, please call me as soon as possible. See you in May. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Tr~cey B.~Re~d <br />Venue Director <br /> <br />Enclosures <br />cc North Carolina State Highway Patrol <br /> Michael Plant <br /> <br /> <br />
