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

Day 1 - Joliet, IL - 2 PM

So far so good!

Two stops done today and we're at the Autobahn Country Club outside of Joilet, IL where we are waiting to make a qualifying run that will determine our starting spot for the rest of the week.

The wet skid pad went really well - we were able to pull an 0.804 (good for 25th overall)... awesome to see a first gen Camaro outperforming 'Vettes, Porsches, and even all wheel drive GTRs!

The oval was a different kettle of fish... I've never run on a oval and was probably (definitely) too tentative. We wound up mid-pack in 48th place. But it was a tight pack - the difference between 2nd and 48th was just over a second lap!

So now after a 100+ mile transit it's a bit of hurry up and wait but it gives everybody a chance to catch their breath.

In the mean time I've got my on track copilot strapped in and ready to go...
