My son and I are thinking about doing the One Lap of America next May? Anybody else considering it or interested? Wouldn't it be cool to show up with a half dozen or more 914s entered.
We have been talking about doing the race since he was old enough to watch the movie Cannonball Run (I think I showed it to him when he was 1). But, it is the first week of May, and when he turned 18 (old enough to enter) he went to college which has finals the first week of May. Since he decided to take the year off of college this year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) we might as well do something constructive. _______ 9/28/16 - Just an update. We are waiting to see the announced courses for 2017. I spoke with Brock today and they will be announced soon. Once we see the courses we can decide whether we think the type IV might be able to do it. Another idea has come up - if we don't do the official One Lap event, we could get some 914s together to create our own one lap of America-style drive. Or do the One Lap event without the full track days. I am looking into that now. |

The dates for next year's event are May 6th through the 13th.
Doing it in a 914 would be challenging. But, why not? You only live once. It would be great if we could get 2, 3, 4 or even more 914s together to do it. If a few 914s did it I would go for it. Otherwise, maybe we will take the Mini Cooper. Over the past year or so I have had too much on my plate to do much well. I have started to clear things that don't really matter out to get my head back above water. And to make room to add this event. Also, we signed my son up for a driving school in November. To compete at the tracks a driver has to have 2 one-day driving schools under their belt, or 1 two-day school will work (we verified that with Brock Yates, Jr.). I may just let him drive at the tracks. I am more interested in the rest of the experience. |
