Welcome!

If you're reading this you are probably already familiar with the OneLapCamaro. We've created this blog as a test of sorts to see how we can best share our experiences in testing and racing on the web. I hope that by the time we run in the One Lap of America in April of 2010 that we will have 'dialed in' this blog as well as the car. Please feel free to let us know your thoughts on the blog - its format, it layout, and its functionality - so that we can make the most of it next spring.

Countdown to the 2010 Tire Rack One Lap of America

Getting everything together - with the help of some great friends!

The Camaro has been at Best of Show Coachworks in San Marcos, California for the last week and, thanks to the great crew at BoS - and an increadible effort from David P. - the car is just about ready for it's return to Turn Key Engine Supply for some final tuning.  The old rockland transmission has been swapped out for a new T-56 Magnum thanks to some help from Classic 5-speed, a new Hurst Blackjack short shift shifter is in, and a custom shift handle has been fabricated to work with our Marquez center console.  Inland Empire Driveshaft has built us a new aluminum driveshaft and everything seems to be coming together.

For the last three days, David and the guys have been cleaning up some bits and pieces - first and foremost working to solve some of the electical issues that showed up on the dyno last week.  Nothing seems simple or obvious - we're really chasing the last half volt to ensure that our 148 mph engine issue is a thing of the past.

It's increadibly hard to be 2,000 miles from the action but thanks to David's dedication I know that we're on the right track.  I've always said that projects like this wouldn't be possible without the help of others and it's never been more apparent than the last week. 

David, Dick, Jon, and Chris - thank you so much... none of this would be possible without you.
