Within the next 24 hours, the team of NSX's running the One Lap of America this year will be heading out for the start of our 8 day race marathon.
Time for talk is over...time to walk the walk :smile:
Rob Morrison and Mike Fitzpatrick have done an amazing job of preparing their cars in such a short time period as well as overcoming numerous obstacles to include replacing engines in both cars with less then three weeks to go!
Vaughn Duarte will be co-driving with Rob Morrison and a last minute change in the EXP NSX finds myself, Jon York, co-driving with Mike Fitzpatrick.
I loaned a hood and rear hatch to Vaughn and Rob for One Lap, now I have to worry about them passing me on the track with my own parts to add insult to injury... maybe I can place some bubblegum in Vaughns race shoes to affect his heel toe technique :tongue:
It's all good as long as the NSX's finish in the overall top ten....that's the real prize regardless of class.
Especially since we are running against Daytona prototypes, Radicals & Ultima's just to name a few.
The 3,500 mile, 14 track event in 8 days leaves little time for sleep, hotels or ability to download pic's/status on a daily basis.
We will do our best to download info by calling a friend to update Prime for us during the event.
We probably would not be running the One Lap this year except for the generous sponsorship of Mark Rossow (EXP4 additives).

A very special thanks to Mr. Mark Hicks for being instrumental in the team support catagory.....8 days of missing work, 3,500 miles of sore butt and no monetary reimbursement for his time.....errrr...we did tell Mark we're not paying him didn't we
