I should have added that the photos are of them signing the bike.
The Chairman of Kart 4 Kids just text me, and said that he may have photos of Dempsey and Long that he may be able to provide to the buyer.

I now have an email conformation of the authenticity of the signatures from the founder and Chairman of Kart 4 Kids. He personally witnessed both signatures, and I will provide a copy of the email along with copy of the Porsche Profile magazine with Dempsey holding the bike.
This is my second attempt to post this notice, because the first one has not gone through. If it post twice, I apologize.

I just contacted the gentlemen, who also is a PCA member, that witnessed both signatures, and he is sending me an email of authenticity. So, yes I will have a letter of authenticity to be delivered with the bike. Thank you for asking.

Do you have a letter or a certificate of authenticity for the signatures?
The bike is a large frame size. The seat tube measures 54cm. I also measured the stand over of the top tube at 32.5" +/-, but because of the angle of the top tube it depends on where you measure it. I measured it from the front tip of the saddle. I hope this is helpful.
What is the frame size? Thanks

I purchased this bike at a live auction in St Pete, FL in May 2014 the day after the 12 hours of Sebring. The auction was the third annual Pro-Am Kart Race, called Kart 4 Kids, to benefit the John Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Pete, and the event has successfully continued every year, and is now being held annually the week before the St Pete Indy car race.
Porsche factory driver Patrick Long hosted the event, and secured this bike as an auction item, and he signed the bike along with Patrick Dempsey (please note the second picture of Dempsey's signature that has faded). The previous day Patrick Long won the Sebring GT Le Mans class.
I will include in the purchase the Porsche Profile magazine that is featured in the photos.
Thank you for participating in the auction, and please let me know if there are any questions.
