Hopefully more pictures in the next couple of days... we have a bunch of work and not a lot of time before it ships out.

And yeah... it may be a good knife... it may be a very good knife... but when the defending champion is playing around with a 1300 rwhp GTR between weekend stints in the Brumos Porsche... it's still just a knife. And you can't overlook Carl in the '68 or Jimi in the Centerforce AMX - they will both be tough. Carl is a heck of a driver and his car is really well sorted out and Jimi has put a lot more miles then most people know on his car.

When you enter a competition with no rules... you can never bring enough.

That said the number one thing to remember about One Lap is that you have to finish to win...

I must say that I've never really liked the over-sized front air-dam on this. I much preferred the styling of the previous chin splitter setup. But having said that... HOLY CRAP! That looks killer!

Go Get 'em! :guns:

That thing turned out wicked as can be. Good luck, hope you and Jimi make out well on that one lap.

wow!
that thing looks like it's ready to eat something. Awesome!

James... Car looks super not..... I'm trying to get some final issues sorted on my ride. It seems that no matter HOW far in advance you plan.... somehow it is always down to the deadline.... (and I'm not happy about it).

me.... just looking forward to participating. Winning is for other folks.

:-)

A couple more pics to tide everyone over until we can get some better ones... unfortunately, the reality that the car has to leave next week dictates that some mechanical prep has to take precedent for a day or two...

Believe me - I know what you are going through. We are in decent shape this year but still have a long list to address in the next three or four days. Being on the West Coast (Canada or USA) is a huge disadvantage - you lose at least a week, if not two, for transportation and like you said, it doesn't seem to matter how far in advance you plan it always comes down to deadlines.

Fun story about the first One Lap of America that we did. My flight (from Calgary) was cancelled due to a storm and delayed a day. I pulled up to the host hotel at around midnight the night before tech and the start (that year we had tech in the morning and started in the afternoon). Dave and I pulled in to the parking lot of the hotel and it was like a huge outdoor garage with work going on everywhere. The defending champion GTR had the hood open and the guys were soldering together a new injector harness IN THE PARKING LOT! They had an extension cord running back in to the room and were cutting off and replacing the ends for new injectors that had just arrived. Another guy was replacing brake pads and a third was struggling to get his car running - they had trailered the car, unfinished, and were working to get it going the day before the race started.

It's like nothing you can imagine... see you there... :)

and a bit of history saved from the past...

Wells done James, the car looks spectacular!!

Werd. But, that did not stop Mary and I from scheming about who is going against who on-track :drive:

When someone sees OLC coming in the rearview mirror, it may seem a bit like this :Tomcat:
