One Lap 2020

Route has officially been announced. 

Again coming through here?  Awesome

In reply to Patrick :

This but the opposite.

Miles are a bit short, so I'm curious how we'll make it up. 

Also, ECR is now my home track and I'm probably moving even closer to it in March. There's a legit chance i could sleep in my own bed on Night #2. 

No Grissom. Where do you think the autox will be? NOLA? 

Which of these has drag racing? 

A warm year. Only one track in The North other than South Bend. 

In reply to John Welsh :

Grissom didn't appear on the big fancy photo. Just the mini schedule. May still happen. But probably not

In reply to John Welsh :

re: Drags...

VIR is 2 hours west of VMP... which would be classic "Brock" way to add some miles, and catch people unawares.  It would also make the route up to Nelson more interesting/late.

also, I'm going to have to figure out who of sleepywife's family wants to put up with a handful of street-legal race cars crashing their place before VIR.

Dangit! VIR is on my list. I'll be in Dallas that day.

and  the route is going past Z-Max as well.

or Road Atlanta to VIR via Bristol Dragway.

There are two Drag Strips near Nelson Ledges.  Dragway 42 or Summit Motorsports Park, Norwalk, OH

In reply to MrChaos :

I think Z-Max would be more likely.  Brock would have to schedule us to leave Road Atlanta around 4:30... which means we'd pull in to Bristol at 8:30, which tends to be a bit late.  Usually we have two venues in the same day, they try to schedule the second venue at 2hours max from the first (based on my experience).

<smacks head>

we're idiots... Memphis is a Dragway!  We're going to do the drags there, imho.

edit:
that's the way it ran back in 2014

I like the route and tracks this year.  Chrissy and I would consider going again but already have a trip planned to LeMans for the 24 this year, taking the vacation time and $ necessary to run one lap.  

Having Nelson on the List again is a huge draw for me as well as VIR. 

 

One Lap 2020 just hit registration cap. Holy crap. 

And now the waitlist begins

I'm on the wait list.... money sent. Son of a ... I was so busy yesterday I missed this. 

Also waitlisted with money sent. 

I am pretty excited about this route, gonna give me an excuse to come visit Spacecadet and Mazdaduece this winter 

In reply to klodkrawler05 :

3 Wish list tracks for me: VIR, Road Atlanta and Nelson Ledges. I know... one of those is not like the others. 

I'm on the wait list too. 

Dang... that filled up fast!  Wasn't planning on running the overgrown Malibu this year, but that schedule is tempting.  I've got a few tanks of gas at at VIR and Road Atlanta plus passing knowledge at Nelson that would move us up a bit higher.  

Only did this once once but man, I want to do it again!

Somebody sponsor me!  Solid mid-pack gets you lots of advertising, right?  

I’m in. Boom. From what I’ve found first Hyundai. 

I mean, I think the list was at 50 within two weeks of the website being updated and opened for entries.  Which is kind of bonkers to me... I mean, just back in 2018, I don't think I signed up until January 1st?  Actually, I think last year might have been the first time I saw a wait-list since I started in 2009?

It's interesting, and I'm not real sure where it's coming from.  The people that are there, it's not clear that it's coming from Roadkill/Pastrana... but maybe they're reminding people and that and a few other things are getting a bunch of repeats to come out which is driving the number up.

In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :

I think the repeats are also dragging in new blood too. You did that and it worked. You get us a taste and were hooked.
