The Tire Rack One Lap of America Presented by Grassroots Motorsports has announced its schedule, and this time it’s a trek through the central and Southeast parts of the U.S.
May 6: Tire Rack wet skidpad
May 6: Grissom Air Force Base autocross
May 7: Nelson Ledges time trial
May 8: Road A…
There's still some speculation amongst the LapDogs that there's a drag race event to add, either after Nashville or ECR. Plus, the possibility that the Lanier oval will get added right after Road America, "since it's right there".
Although, the length of a couple of the transits might negate the last one?
Lanier would be cool. Say hi to Mr. Downing for us. :)
Nelson Ledges to Road Atlanta = 11hrs!
Leave the Nelson at 2pm, arrive at hotel at 1am (if all goes well)
South Bend to Grissom = 1 hr 19 min (81.8 mi) continuing from Grissom to Nelson = 4 hr 58 min (311 mi)
Nelson to Road Atlanta = 10 hr 51 min (705 mi)
Road Atlanta to Nashville = 4 hr 13 min (276 mi)
Nashville to Eagles = 11 hr 4 min (735 mi)
Eagles to Hallett = 3 hr 49 min (228 mi)
Hallett to NCM = 10 hr 10 min (662 mi)
NCM to South Bend = 5 hr 42 min (373 mi)
Some really long transit legs this year
In reply to docwyte :
But the longs are every other day, not back to back.
When you're out here on the left coast, just getting to the start is a long leg...LOL.
I'm looking forward to it, IF, my new roll cage gets ever built...
Alas, though this would be the perfect time to enter this...I have everything except the roll cage in the car...and this is even happening in the right part of the country...this may have to wait for my next lifetime.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Heroic fellow. Has saved many lives and injuries by leading the way with head and neck restraints. Bravo Jim Downing and Bob Hubbard!
Bumpty bump! Planning on coming out to Nelson Ledges.
I had been getting call for workers e-mail from Indy Region, for some reason. I think I rallycrossed with them once ten years ago and got on their mailing list.
As much as I would like to drive out to Nelson and hang out, my overactive civic duty gland is driving me to volunteer for anything that requires an untrained warm body. Is there anybody I should contact, or is this all already handled?
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
You could easily do both. AutoX worker for Saturday afternoon. Competition starts at 3 pm at Grissom and the last car should roll out before 4pm.
Then, next day, gates open at 7am for track walking and track goes live at 8am. Expect all cars to be done about 3pm.
I plan to be at Nelson Ledges
Sounds like a plan, except unlike Lap Dogs, I need to sleep on occasion
