2019 One Lap of America first full track day at Nelson Ledges.

PoorVette not been happy lately.. steering issues and while on track, went into limp mode in our first session. Good thing we brought a spare.



After replacing the throttle actuator and modifying the steering shaft we made it to the second session, I'll just have a plug wire fall off on the reconnaissance lap.

Day one of 2019 oloa

Day one Tire Eack were skid pad and Grissom AFB Auto Cross complete.

Wet skid pad was you guessed it WET..... Didn't do as well as planned due to a driver error. Pushed it a little too hard again this year and the front pushed over in an area of the high volume of water on the surface. Tire did feel better cut they are just like two large pontoons on the wet skid pad.



Grissom Air Force Base was set up with a large auto cross by the local SCCA region and was run with NASA rules for the event. We got a total of three sessions and the first was wet but did allow for extra time for track review. We bettered our time on the second then third try but still fell short.

On our transit drive now to Nelson Ledges for tomorrow's event on a fresh track. We will try to get there early enough to ride the bike around it to scout it out.

 Below is a link for the current results page on One Lap of America webpage. End of day one we are in 43rd position overall and2nd in class. Long way to go for a top 25 with this crowd of participants.
