2010 One Lap of America - Update Thread - WINS FIRST IN CLASS!!!!!!!
The 2010 Tire Rack One Lap of America kicks off today and David and I are going to do our best to provide live (technology willing) updates throughout the event. For simplicity this thread on Pro-Touring.com is going to be our focus – in addition to our blog, facebook, and twitter. We are hoping that you guys will help to spread the word to other forums on our behalf while we are on the road – the last thing we want to do is try to keep everybody updated but not be able to do a very good job as we go. Please feel free to quote, copy or paste anything from this forum anywhere where you feel there is interest. This way (hopefully) we can keep everybody up to date as we go without sacrificing quality for quantity.
Here is the official schedule for the 2010 Tire Rack One Lap of America:
Friday April 30th
Wet Skid Pad, Tire Rack Headquarters, South Bend, IN
Saturday May 1st
Road America, Elkhart Lake, WI (Long and Short Course)
Sunday May 2nd
Mid America Motorplex, Pacific Junction, IA
Monday May 3rd
Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, Jennings, OK
Tulsa Raceway Park, Tulsa, OK
Tuesday May 4th
Gateway International Raceway
Wednesday May 5th
Mid Ohio Sports Car Course, Mansfield, OH
Thursday May 6th
Lightning Raceway – New Jersey Motorsports Park, Millville, NJ
Friday May 7th
Nelson Ledges Road Course, Garrettsville, OH
Saturday May 8th
Dry Skid Pad, Tire Rack Headquarters, South Bend, IN
The optima batteries OneLapCamaro – along with David and (finally) James – is in South Bend now and we are officially registered for the race. The paperwork is in and David has a pile of decals that we need to place on the car Friday morning before making our way through tech and heading off for an orientation meeting and the final drivers meeting. Then it’s off to Tire Rack’s skid pad where we’ll run with the sprinklers on (although the weather may make that redundant) before packing up and heading off to Plymouth, WI tonight and on to Elkhart Lake and the incredible track at Road America!
We’ll start posting updates tomorrow as we go! Here are some links to follow our progress…

Mobile broadband is up and running! It will pobably take a day to get the GPS sorted out so bear with us.
Started the day with registration, tech, and stickering up the car...
Lots of cool cars here, Mr. Angry's Charger is awesome, there are some GTR's, some GT2s, an Ultima GTR and some other cool hardware. Camaro's are well represented, there is our '67, a late 2nd gen ('78 I think), a 3rd Gen IROC, and a very nice 5th Gen.
The event officially kicks of shortly. We'll keep you posted...
According to the info kit, spectators are welcome at ALL venues so feel free to come by if you want.Last edited by Damn True; 04-30-2010 at 12:16 PM.

You've done loads of preparation and you've got your game on, so it should go well. Best wishes.
Road America and Mid Ohio in the same week...It sounds like a fantasy. Enjoy.

They'll be at Road America tomorrow. Yahoo! I bet they will be putting some serious speed on there. Hopefully there's video.

I just got a report.. they finished the wet skid pad with a score of .76g
That's pretty good in the wet..
They are now mobile and heading towards the next spot.. tornado warnings in the area..
That is all..."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Skid pad was fun! A bit hard to see with all the water spraying from the sprinklers. Just looked up results and we placed 48th at .758 G, Mr Angry finished .629 in 68th place. OLC felt great and was very well balanced. I was hoping for a .8 but didn't quite get there. The Michelin ties make a vibration when they are near breaking loose on the skid pad. It was very easy to tell when the limit was being reached.
I'm in Plymouth Wi, close to Road America, tomorrow I drive the long course, then James drives the short course.
Trailer towed great, we hardly knew it was there! Our stuff is dry too!

Hey guys -
First off, for those who haven't seen the One Lap Camaro in person you are missing out as the car is simply beautiful and handles like its on a rail. Watching it run on the wet skid pad was a real treat and I think that by the end of the week it's going to trounce some real high dollar stuff. So far so good, although we do have a leaky fuel pump which will hopefully be remedied tomorrow morning... we'll see though.Never trust a pretty girl... or a lonely midget.

Awesome day! David did great on the skid pad...
Staged
counterclockwise
and then clockwise
as did Mr. Angry
before loading up the trailer
and making the "short" haul to Plymouth, WI. Car was great on the highway, trailer towed like it wasn't there - shame that 200 miles of the leg was in the rain.... great light show though...
Video editing software is flakey and hotel modem is down - working on that now...Last edited by Damn True; 05-02-2010 at 04:05 PM.

Mike, tried to call you while enroute to Plymouth. Good luck this week. Great to see you and James representing the muscle cars amongst a sea of tuners.
