Sponsor us at this link: gofundme.com/wyszp4hw Whatever extra we have left over at the end will be donated to the United Way. Follow us on this thread and/or here on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/OneLap914/ Cupomeat and I have talked about running One Lap since probably high school which was, well, a long time ago. So we're finally entering this year. Should be interesting considering it's a little two seat car, no heat or air conditioning, 2800+ miles and 7+ days of driving. No radio at this point, but we're working on that. I'm not sure of the details, but from what I read, spectators are encouraged to attend. So if you live near one of the tracks and are available to come out and say hello, please do! The schedule and the tracks we'll be at can be found on the One Lap website link listed above. At this point, we have no sponsors except for those that one lap has already set up. If you would like to sponsor us and get your logo on the 914, please drop me a PM. We have space for logos on the hood and trunk, maybe more. From the One Lap website, "One Lap reserves the top of the windshield and the front fenders back including both doors, or equal space, for the event decals. This will typically include a Tire Rack window tint, door decal, number plaque, NASA tech decal and several sponsor decals" Are we gonna win? Who knows, but it'll be a helluva lot of fun!

My suby conversion is supposed to be my long distance car. Heat and air. A paint job that I'm not afraid to get wet or stone chipped.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Mar 6 2016, 02:22 PM)  My suby conversion is supposed to be my long distance car. Heat and air. A paint job that I'm not afraid to get wet or stone chipped. Ah, "Heat and Air"... this 914 has heat from the Firewall (and oil tubes) and as much air as the window allows when rolled down. No creature comforts this time! It is going to be lots of fun, or at least a fantastic story to tell. I am setting up the video editing solution for the trip. I'd like to post daily clips but that all depends on priorities! Looking forward to seeing some of you at the tracks we run at! |
