Default can you drive, endure, dominate ... or just want to have a great time

8 Days and 3330 miles with no mention of the copious amounts of Redbull and beef jerky that will be consumed. Think of the memories which will surely thrill the lowly spectators and wannbees for decades to come with tales of unbridled debauchery and heroic sleep deprivation skills and driving prowess.

I say make 2012 the year. Come join the big guns and hot shoes showing up this year.

It is rumored that for two days this year South Bend will have more GT-R's than any other city in the country if not the world. Porsches, BMWs, Corvettes, and performance vehicles of all types even some really cool specialty cars, Ratrods and many others will be hanging around as well.

Several well known drivers from all walks of racing will be competing. 7 time SCCA Champion Danny Popp will be stretching the legs of the 2011 Street Car Invitational winning C6 Z06 "White Trash". ALMS & Grand Am racer, 2012 Daytona 24 hour 3rd place finisher driving for Brumos Porsche, and last years One Lap Champion, Leh Keen, will be piloting the Top Speed Motorsport GT-R again this year. Hailing from The Chicago Audi Car Club, Victor Bell his co-driver and Speed TV personality Jenna Wagner, is leading the diesel contingent. Roush Racing is sending four teams with their in-house prepped, Roushcharged, Mustangs and some up-and-coming NASCAR wheel men including Roush team driver Billy Johnson.



Yes, I dare say who will take the next step ... be EPIC in your endeavors and make 2012 the year that 1 Lap of America will revel the awesomeness of your gold bond scented glory and or carnage ...

What say you?

can you field a team for 1 Lap of America ???

I can only assume you have titanium lug nuts in order to successfully dominate?

If anybody needs any decals for their car, I can hand deliver in South Bend on Friday evening or Saturday morning. I live only 20 min from Tire Rack and have my own vinyl plotter. Price will be very cheap compared to a professional shop. I can do simple lettering in one or two colors in any windows based font. I can do logos if you provide the vector formatted file. I have very limited editing capabilities and can't convert a picture file to a vector file. I have many colors to choose from.
Two color numbers on my brother's Z06:

Lettering on the back of my 76 Vette (Disclaimer: can't actually sell you the Corvette or Purdue logos as I don't have permisions):


My Dad and I have been racing Corvettes at the Tire Rack for nearly 20 years now. Lets show those GT-Rs a thing or two about how to race!!! Go get them Danny!

Every time I read this title, I think about the movie "Dodgeball".

"YOU NEED TO DODGE, DIP, DUCK, DIVE, AND DODGE!"

It was... aka nuclear bananna, but they repainted the car from yellow to white.
