Day Eight 2019 One Lap of America Tire Rack Dry Skid Pad


Well we made it. Not pretty, but we're here. 

After a 20th place finish overall in the skid pad, we will call this year's One Lap done. 


Day seven 2019 One Lap of America


The Poorvette at the Corvette Museum, gotta love the irony in that. One word, inconsistent. The finishes were 56, 23, and 32 overall.

It's time to lick our wounds and make the treck back to South Bend.







Day six 2019 One Lap of America at Blackhawk Farms Raceway


After a little bout withe some dampness we trudged through Blackhawk with a 32 & 36 place finish overall. Not our best showing but better than some. 

Day five 2019 One Lap of America Motorsports Park Hastings


Old is cool, until it's not.....

Well Hastings was a bust for us at the track but we did get to spend some time with some family in the morning. Thanks Ben and family for letting us us his lift to get the Poorvette back in shape in the AM and at least ride to the track in the pooring rain and watch. A DNS for us on both sessions but we will move on to the next track in a lot better shape. 

Day four 2019 One Lap of America at Brainerd International Raceway


Bainerd was a beautiful day for racing. The first session was not too bad with 26 place overall finish but the second session was a way different story. After one and half laps in the rear car felt just wrong, way off and noises no one should hear on the track. We had a bolt failure that could have been a catastrophe, although we limped around for a 43rd place finish overall. After a mad scramble of wrenches thrashing, we we scrambled to get the car somewhat back to to make our Drag race passes done and on the road.  Wow what a day.

Day three 2019 One Lap of America at Road America

Day three started out promising incoming weather and it did fail. With the chance of rain we rented a garage to keep dry. Smart on our part.


The wet morning session took a few prisoners. M2 Z06 and GT-R.


It was like ice dancing with no nannies then on top of that the wipers don't do anything above 80 mph. Even with that we made the session unscathed even thought we had a slow time due to a hard wave caution flag for a spin in front and not being able to get a clean pass in.



The second session was much better, finished 1 at in class and 17th overall


Next for a 7 plus hour road trip to Brainard Minnisota.
