We are paying this one out of pocket. We got quotes for track insurance, but didn't go that route. In hindsight, for a track like Summit Point, not having track insurance was a mistake.

Yep, definitely not the way we would have thought the race would end. It's at the body shop now though, and while not cheap, it's getting fixed!

Tire barrier impact at Summit Point... it's cosmetic, we will fix it.

I agree on the benefits of caster. This is why we went with a different camber/caster plate from Redshift. We ran the One Lap with the ALK kit on, and once I regreased it with the Energy Suspension stuff it was very quiet. I think in an ideal world, you get a rear bushing that doesn't change...

Thursday the 8th was day 6 of 8 for the One Lap. Everyone is tired at this point, but we were feeling better than AMP after 6 hours of sleep. We arrived early at Summit Point because we knew we had to change brake pads to the XP12s to handle the high braking demands here. Summit was Chris’ track...

Missing the two sessions at NOLA (a track we knew) on Tues. and not getting scored for the afternoon at ECR bumped us down into 3rd in class, but we were determined though to claw back as much as we could. For Weds. we were scheduled for two sessions at AMP and one at Lanier Speedplex, a 3/8th...

While waiting on the tow truck we waited out a severe thunderstorm with 2 other One Lap teams that had issues that day as well. Needless to say we were all pretty bummed. It was starting to set in that we weren’t going to make it to New Orleans for the next days events, and that meant we would...

The transit from Memphis was wet for the first part, but overall uneventful. We arrived around 10 pm and we were ready to get some sleep. After Memphis, we were excited for Eagles Canyon since it was a track we knew well. Chris was up first, and he had a great session. All 3 of his laps were all...

Day 2 took us to Memphis International Raceway for what was supposed to be two on track sessions and a drag race. The forecast called for rain to start mid-morning, so unfortunately, they changed the format to a point-to-point race to avoid using the drag strip because of the lack of traction on...

The tow to South Bend from Houston was uneventful. We split it into two legs with a long first day to Champaign IL and then a short trip to South Bend the next to allow for plenty of time to check in and get the car tech’d. Arriving at the host hotel was pretty exciting and somewhat intimidating...

The One Lap is an 8 day event that starts and ends at the Tire Rack in Indiana. The event consists of two road course time trials and then a 5-600 mile transist to the next track on each day. There's also some drag racing and autox mixed in. Check out my build thread for updates. Event...

While we were trouble shooting the issues with the IC, we were also finishing off the rest of the final prep. We received a gorgeous set of caster/camber plates from Redshift. These allowed us to gain an additional .4 degrees of camber and some extra caster. We ended up with -3 degress up front...

The week of April 12th we kept working our way through the tune with DRob, and it all seemed to be going well. On Friday of that week, he gave the green light for flex fuel. I blended my first tank, sent him the data logs, really enjoyed all the extra power, and was feeling like we were right on...

After Eagles Canyon we had a long list of things to complete; first up was getting the A/C running again. A/C repair is tricky, and most of the internet will tell you not to attempt it on your own. However, if you are patient and sift through the noise, there is plenty of good information out...

Getting dressed for the 2021 One Lap of America.

The caster is not adjustable from the factory, and the BC Camber plates only adjust for Camber (unless you rotate them in the mounting holes, but this is too extreme I think). We have added a little over half a degree of additional positive caster with the Whiteline Anti Lift Kit. However, the...

We’ve been really busy the last two weeks getting everything ready, but I’m going to try and get this all caught up before we leave so the updates can come as daily summaries during the actual event. April 9th and 10th were spent at Eagles Canyon Raceway for the NASA TX Spring Fling. This is by...

Lots of work happened in the two weeks before the NASA Spring Fling at Eagles Canyon. The goal for this event was to have the power mods completed and run pretty much the complete One Lap setup, but this didn’t quite happen. The Monday after the Texas Tour, I took the Civic into the dealer to...

Great until you drop a wheel off the end of curbing into hole... I blame us for this one, not the wheel.

Thanks! Yes, MR131s in 18x9 +35 with 255/35/18
