man, this thread has saved me this week but also hurt, I need to do this event at some point
In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :
Totally disagree with you. I've run One Lap before, I'm not talking out of my butt. Teams that are so serious that they're worried that a picture is going to be used by their competitors to gain an edge aren't in the right mind set for an event that's just for fun.

And following all this and knowing the story in GRM will be epic seems like pretty good media coverage.

I love when people talk out of their ass about people they have no idea about. You've never met me. You've never talked to me. You have NO idea what experience I have. I've done One Lap. I've done NASA Nationals. I've done Time Trials. I've done track events for 25+ years. I've done plenty of things where people get all crazy about the event and being competitive, which leads to the event being far less pleasant and fun.
Why don't you take a chill pill and maybe try to talk to me about why I feel the way I do and my experiences instead of trying to patronize me and be a jerk?
Every pro driver has their favorite sports drink. Tom's must be off-brand pedialyte.
Such a fantastic positive vibe going on at the skidpad right now. Tons of cheering for great numbers. Cheering at a skidpad? Yea, that's what we do.
Andy is headed out to the skid pad now. This will determine whether he can stay ahead of Randy Pobst overall.
The third place podium position is a close fight too. Can the Tesla hold or will 911 best them?

Me too, but I trust my on track skills as far as I can throw them, so I would best be served as transit driver for someone who knows what they are doing.
Andy did it--6th overall if my math is right.
SuperK won the skidpad, but couldn't make up lost points earlier. TomO won overall.

Tesla held onto 3rd place.
It's time for trophies, and we're getting a rare treat: Lunch INSIDE Tire Rack.
Food!
I was lucky enough to go for a ride and then drive in SuperK a few minutes ago. A full feature is coming, but here's two quick thoughts:

- SuperK is AWESOME
- Andy and Alex are insane for driving it for 3500 street miles.
How many cupholders does it have, though? 
Can't wait for the feature!
Time for awards!
Time for awards!
Brock just declared Sundae Cup "my favorite group." Nicely done everybody!
And just like that, One Lap is over and I'm off to the airport.
Tom should come back for One Lap every year. Or at least next year, but with a car that lets him sleep less.
Finally got ahead of Andy on a transit.
Walking through the Atlanta airport, I just found myself thinking "Why is everybody waiting to get on a plane to St. Louis? You can drive there in an evening..."
Landed in Houston. Does that mean it's over?

You actually found a car with a smaller trunk than a Miata? 
Does McLaren give you a second trunk behind the engine like a 914, or is that it.
