We won 1st in the Vintage Foreign class again but only got to 26th overall after missing one session falling short of my personal goal of a top 25 position.
Not bad considering how much the field has improved from 2 years ago in not only in the caliber of cars but in the caliber of driving as well and we still finished ahead of 27 cars that completed all of the events.
This year's One Lap was the most brutal and demanding we have attended thus far: Replacement alternator after getting beat first round at Memphis,
Replacement splitter at Road Atlanta after an agrecultural experience,
Cooked oil and had to be gentle at Road Atlanta and Sebring to keep oil temperature down,
Flat spot one of our brand new BFG Rival-s at Sebring and had to limp around on our last lap,
Hurt transaxle at CMP and had to do a quick change at the home garage hours out of the way barely making it to Dominion in time to get on track,
Bad gas when leaving Dominion and killed both O2 sensors and lost 5 hours of travel time then checking into the hotel at 6:30am,
Broke a lower ball joint on track at Gingerman failed to take the Green flag with a DNS,
and oh yeah, by the way dislocated my nose when loading #poorvette on the flatbed truck to add insult.
No matter what the obstacles were, I still consider this best automotive weeks of all time and get to spend it with my Uncle and the opportunity to spend a great week with car friends at the best automotive summer camp ever known.
Thanks to all for followed along our journey and we look forward to One Lap 2018-did we hear correct Las Vegas????? Who's in?
