Day 8 Complete . Last day......

     Well Day 8 of One Lap of America is complete and the Slo-Motion Team has complete their first One Lap of America/Cannonball event.

    What a GREAT week, Spending time with Herman this week ha been one of the best parts, but I'll have to tell you this 150+ MPH down the front drag strip at Brainerd and taking turn one on a track I had never heard if before not to metion never seen before been on at well over 100 was pretty exhilarating.

 Now for the Official One Lap of America results.

    We have won our class, all be it small, and considering we missed a total of four events, we still finished 56th overall ahead of several veteran teams that made to every event this year.

 White Trash overall did Great, even with a few bearing and fuel issues that we had it's still running like a top. Only thing is we may be changing the name to Dirty White Trash as I don't think we will ever get all the bugs and brake dust off.

 And by the way, just in case anyone ask if we would do it again, we are already making on a list of what we need to do for next year..... The top items on the list are... #1 BRAKES, #2 BRAKES, #3 BRAKES, #4 MORE Horsepower believe it or not.... We didn't bring a knife to a gunfight, but we did bring a .22 caliber to a 50 CAL machine gun fight.. With some of the factory teams and hired gun drivers along with the years of experience there from some of the other one lappers that have been doing this for over 20 years, we have a long way to go or a lot of money to come up with to finish well up in the overall. But I have to say for a " one lap pup team " which is terminology for rookies. we fell pretty good overall considering we had never driven any of these tracks at speed and the one that had even been seen was Hastings that Herman got visit.. We have transitioned from "one lap pups" to "one lap dogs"


I do believe that One Lap of America is by far is the best way to see many tracks in a short time to get a quick glimpse of some of the best tracks in the country. Can't wait till it hits more that we haven't seen yet.
