Another One Lap of America in the books. One of the neatest things about getting to One Lap is seeing all those One Lap friends that you haven't seen in a year, or this year for 2 years. This was my 12th year and Gary "Duck" Drake's 2nd year. Very interesting year, what with hi-jumping over an alligator on the way to New Orleans and the car stinking big time for the next three days. Not thrilled with the rainy transit nights but at least it helped wash off the alligator smell;^) Had a forward facing power steering hose compromised from the encounter with the gator but it didn't show up finishing the many miles to the hotel that night, but it did show up with the more aggressive steering on NOLA where running in the rain I lost my power steering and did most of the session muscling the car the car through the corners and splashing through the major puddles, but at least I didn't DNF. Duck and I spent the rest of the week being called the Gator Brothers. A big thanks to Amanda Hennessy and JD White for helping fix the power steering line. Can't wait to see everyone again next year.
On another note:
We are still collecting for our charity, the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition and are having one of our best years ever. Only a few hundred dollars more and it could be the best. If I missed you and you would still like to give, see me or go on-line to donate with a credit card at https://www.pabreastcancer.org/ be sure to put One Lap of America when asked for what event. Thank You.
