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

Friday, May 7, 2010

The final stretch...

Friday is winding to a close and we're midway through our final transit stage.  The good news is that we are "only" 177 miles from South Bend, IN; the bad news is that we are driving into some pretty ominous looking clouds. 

We're also suddenly worried about our clutch...  It's been on our minds since we left but has only given us a hint or two of trouble... Until about a half hour ago... It slipped pretty hard in 6th gear on the turnpike and now... well... now we baby it and hope it hangs in for another 3 hours. 

Sound so simple.

We're waiting for results from track today... We know that David picked up 5 points in the morning - beating Mike and the '78 by 5 or so seconds.  This afternoon Mike had a DNF (did not finish) but David had a miscue on his final lap and we don't know how things will shake up.  With luck we're still in it heading to the final event - the dry (?) skid pad...
