Why did we compete in the 2023 One Lap of America Presented by Grassroots Motorsports in our 2017 VW GTI?

The short version of the story is that our previous ride for One Lap, a McLaren 720S, was in the shop. So, the GTI was our next best option.

The long version? You’ll have to wait and read it in an upcoming issue of Grassroots Motorsports.

We will tell you, though, that the GTI did more than simply survive One Lap–it secured a third-place finish in its class.

Congrats on the podium.

Did anyone think to do a before-and-after dyno pull to see how much the stickers may have helped (wheel hp, please.)wink

Congratulations

 

We ran the One Lap in 85

 

Chased Snodgrass and Lindamood q crossed the country and back

 

Pulled Rocky Aoki and his Rolls out of a ditch in Montana

 

He would swap out 2 different ladies at every stop along the way

 

Those were the days
