 Here is our "Thanks to our Sponsors" picture for 2023.  I am on the right and Gary "Duck" Drake, my Transit Driver is on the left.  We will be using my new Orange 2023 Corvette this year.  In addition to the Sponsors, I would like to thank Kurt Steidle for completing this picture for me.  Thanks to Whitmoyer Auto Group, Engle Printing (Where and When Magazine), Top of the Line Roofing, Krunch Kritters Body Shop, Two Cousins Pizza & Italian Restaurant, Lancaster County Corvette Club and Dan Butz Cornwell Tool Truck.

I am getting ready for this years event in which we will compete in early May.  The event will be about 3700 miles.  With the miles to South Bend and back home, the total will be almost 5,000 miles in about 8 days.

Joe Yacobenas will be my Transit Driver this year, helping with the highway miles, and I will do all the competition driving.  Joe is my Crew Chief when I'm racing with SCCA and this will be a new adventure for him. This will be my 15h One Lap and we have now raised almost Fifty Thousand dollars for the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition over the years.  Make a donation and you can ride along "vicariously" (with your name on the top of the car) on the trip and help a great cause at the same time.  The Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition, represents, supports and serves breast cancer survivors and their families in Pennsylvania through educational programming, legislative advocacy and breast cancer research grants. 

To make a donation and get a sticker on the car, stop in at the store or send to Jim Roberts % West Main Auto, 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa. 17552 along with who to name on the sticker.  Make all checks payable to PBCC for short.  You can also visit https://www.pabreastcancer.org/one-lap-of-america/ and donate by using your credit card.  I am struggling to reach my fundraising goal this year, so I appreciate your generosity. This is a terrible disease that has touched the lives of many of our friends and loved ones, Thank you for considering a donation.

To help follow the adventure, I still maintain a blog at www.onelapadventure.blogspot.com where you can also find older stories. Or you can "Like" my Facebook page at Jim's One Lap Adventure. Keep watching for more updates.
