Well it won't be long now. Next Saturday we will start competing in the Brock Yates One Lap of America. It has it roots in the original Cannonball run of movie fame and from the 1970's. The current approach is a more modern legal version in that all the racing is done on the racetracks. When it's your turn to make your time trial run, you get one lap to reconnaissance the track, which you may or may not have ever seen before. At the end of the one lap you stop at the start/finish line and in a group of about 5 cars, a car is released about every 10-15 seconds. You run your 3 competition laps and you are finished for that event. The overall scoring is 5 points per car, so if you have 70 entrants the fastest car would get 350 points and each car down the speed charts is 5 points less. The 70th car would get 5 points, as long as they finish or 0 points for a DNF (did not finish). The class points work similar, if you have 20 cars in a class the first place car gets 100 points and the 20th car gets 5 points, if everyone ran and finished. Here is a picture of my new race suit, my old one was starting to show some age especially from the fading.As mentioned before we still need a few more donations for our effort for the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition. For any donation of $10 or more we will put your name on a sticker on the car to show your support in the fight against breast cancer and to help provide support for women with breast cancer. You can mail me your donation, or stop in the store at Jim Roberts West Main Auto at 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa. 17552 or click on the link below and you can donate using your credit card. Help spread the word we are way behind on this years fundraising effort. Don't wait, we will still accept donations after we get back, but if you send your donation in now you get to ride along on the trip on top of the car. Help in the fight against cancer.
