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

OLoA Update - May 2nd PM

The OPTIMA Batteries OneLapCamaro is done running the Mid America Motorex and is on the highway heading south to Stillwater, Oklahoma.  The skies stayed dry for our time on the track and a few drops are falling as we head out.

David's time this morning was good for 26th (?) overall and first in our class - tieing us for 1st after 4 events.  James ran the track in the afternoon and when times are available we'll post an update. 

With three tracks, five events and nearly 1000 miles in the books attritian is starting to be a factor.  Yesterday two cars - a Cadillac CTS and new ZR1 Corvette - fell out of competition (the first following a scary off track excursion in the Canada corner and the second with an apparent mechanical issue).  Today the defending One Lap of America champion's Nissan GTR suffered from mechanical woes and may not continue.

Mr. Angry's 68 Charger had fuel pump issues which he was able to resolve with a 100 mile wide trip but he back up and was running on course as we pulled out.

For now we have a 400 mile transit to our hotel and will start tomorrow at the Hallett Motor Racing Circuit before heading to the Tulsa Raceway for some quarter mile action in the evening.

Cheers!
