I rarely, if ever, drive the 914 at night. Except for the track time, most of One Lap will likely be spent driving at night on public roads. It was time to upgrade to LEDs from Trucklite (which are the same as the GE LEDs except significantly less expensive).

While I was in there, I noticed the front turn signal bucket socket was loose. Nothing some JB Weld won't fix.

Less than 2 weeks away and we are pretty much ready to go. We've got new One Lap branded shoes on the vehicle, hotel reservations and all required equipment per the rules

We have a couple of sponsors but could always use more!

Thanks to Steve at Fourteener Touring Magazine for coverage and sponsorship!

We will also use this thread as a location to update our progress and provide links to video, etc.

Sponsor us at this link: gofundme.com/wyszp4hw Whatever extra we have left over at the end will be donated to the United Way.

Hey Tom you might want to check your GoFundMe page. Got an error message. I realized I hadn't donated yet!

Awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Good call on the LED headlights. I love mine.
Have fun and drink lots of fluids! I'd recommend getting some powdered electrolyte mix you can add to water to keep properly hydrated. And lots of snacks!

Are the plug & play?

This was the message I got before. Maybe because I'm not on Facebook. It worked this time. Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Interesting, I had not seen those before. GE/Trucklite are the ones to get. I found them at the lowest price here http://www.ebay.com/itm/281437873317

They are indeed plug and play.

My plan is to post some video/pics of each day's events. Depending on the day and how much editing time i'll have, don't expect too much editing, but at least you all can follow along.

Wow, I can't believe this is about 1 week away to start!

Thanks to you all for your support!

Tom, best of luck with your endeavor, I would love to do this some day. I plan on going up to Mass to watch on the 2nd. A long time friend is also running the course with a somewhat newer Porsche... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

What are the dates and times at Palmer Raceway in MA?
Maybe we can get a gang of 914 guys to show up and cheer you on.

I'm running the TNIA event later that afternoon at Palmer. I'll try to get there earlier and say "hello" but if I miss you guys, best of luck! And if you have any issues while in the CT/MA area, do give me a ring!
