Dear Mr. Butko: I was wondering how we can promote the DVD The Greatest Auto Race on Earth (the story of the 1908 NY to Paris auto race)on the Lincoln site? It has won the EP Ingersoll Award from the Society of Automotive Historians, the Special Jury Award from the Houston International Film Festival, 2 Platinum Pixies from the American Pixel Academy, and 3 AMPIAs. I look forward to your reply.
