Yup, we made it one piece but it is cold! It's 45* out now, and earlier when Robert McGaffin was shooting the cars with the wind blowing....BURRRRRR!
No major concerns with any of the cars. I think all three of us are going to dive under the cars for a few minutes tomorrow to make a few small adjustments. It's stickers, registration/tech inspection, etc. so it's an easy day. If everyone would please do their best no-rain La Bamba dance moves tonight it would be greatly appreciated.
Wherever we go the cars are like Rockstars out here. Jimi's going to have to get a can of anti-stalking spray for the AMX!
We'll be posting as we can but often comminications can be limited, and uploading photos for hosting/posting does not always work well.
Thank you all for your support. We are really looking forward to this coming week. There are some AWESOME cars here. Can you say a 0-100mph in 5.9 seconds GTR?
Okay -- So I know you three are on the One Lap.... so I didn't email any of you... but I think the T-shirt orders might have a problem...
I've gotten a couple emails from Three Pines Marketing (FM3) - One that said my order was shipped --- today I received another one saying that the "postage was destroyed" and would no longer be shipped.
Now --- I am ASSuming that this shipment is the three shirts you guys were selling...
It's not important NOW --- it's just something that might need looking into when you're back and settled.
1st Place - How much cra*p can be stuffed into the trunk of a 1st-gen.
1st Place - Finding out that someone sold me a bogus helmet 10 years ago award (bummer, need to buy new one along the route.)
1st Place - For the privledge of having that big sticker on the front of each fender.
Last Place - There is no looser. Just getting here is a win.

Awesome! Glad you made it Carl! Best of luck and most of all HAVE FUN!!! Looking forward to any updates.
Here's some video of our on-track adventures during OLoA. There's more to come but here was our favorite track, Virginia International Raceway (VIR). For all of the pomp and circumstance that Daytona has, VIR is a road coarse junkie's dream come true. I'd move there in a heartbeat just to be near this place. I "borrowed" the hotel room guest amenities notebook that lays out all of the things one can do. They have a day spa, skeet range, Ariel Atom instruction, for-sale garages, etc.
The camera did not turn on for the second run (North). For as nice as the features are, and the price, on the GoPro Black the wireless feature is totally unreliable. The video also includes the recon lap. For those that are considering doing OLoA in the future, this is what to expect for the on-track runs.
South Track Morning. My "Zen" run with the Camaro of all the events.
