Once again Carl Casanova and John Mahn have run the One Lap of America and did very well. This year Team Honor Flight Camaro took first place in the Vintage American class and finished an amazing 14th overall. Congratulations guys!!!!


For those not aware this event encompasses an auto time trial event on race tracks across the country. Included are 8 different locations, 18 driving events and approximately 3,245 miles of transit driving over a 7 day period.

Information regarding the event can be found at http://onelapofamerica.com/Home.do and you can follow them on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HonorFlightCamaro?fref=ts

They drove in honor of our veterans. The charity organization they have chosen is the Honor Flight Network. The Honor Flight Network transports our veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans, World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.

If you would like to make a donation, this can be done directly to the Honor Flight Network on line at http://honorflight.org . You can put "Honor Flight Camaro" in the tribute line.

Thank you for your support!

WOW! That looks like a great event. That's a huge honor to compete in an event like that and take first place in the class. And all for a great cause and awareness.

Not sure any current configuration of Big Red could dream of competing in a race like that. Maybe if we added an LS engine to the trio of Big Blocks we run.

Congratulations guys!

Thanks!

It would be great if you could come out! The One Lap is an adventure much beyond just the on-track time. We went through the tornados in OKC earlier this week and just missed the tornados by just a few minutes, lots of rain (including on-track), and comraderie amoung all the competitors.

Thank you Bill. We're on a bus now heading to our car/home. It's 11:45pm Los Angeles time, so we're spent.

We very much appreciate the kind comments and words of encouragement along the way!
