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!

Day 1. Got up early to un-trailer and pack the car up. Went to Tire Rack for the start and unpacked the car. We finished up the last bits of registration and stickering just in time for the RAIN! Good thing today's event was a Wet Skidpad. Lunch and driver's meetings took up the rest of the time before we attacked the Wet Skidpad!!! Then a quick pack up in the rain and off to the middle stop - Avon Harley Davidson! That was a very welcome stop as it was warm, and when we left Indiana, we could see our breath in the car - remember we have no heat. The people at the H-D stop were wonderful and lots of great stories, including a couple 914 enthusiasts! By then it was little warmer and off for the last 115mi leg to the hotel.
The Day 1 video will have to wait until tomorrow as the GoPro video file from the Skidpad is not in my possession yet. Time for sleep and try to dry out... a couple of little leaks add to the fun! WHAT WENT WELL - The car is running great! The people are great! We made it through the first day! |
