Here is our "Thanks to our Sponsors" picture for 2021.  I am on the right and Gary "Duck" Drake, my Transit Driver is on the left.  We will be using my 2008 Corvette again this year.

I am getting ready for this years event in which we will compete in early May.  This year we will be traveling from South Bend to Nashville then to South Carolina, next over to near Atlanta, then to Alabama, from there to Oklahoma, then to Kansas where we not only do two Road Course events but also two Drag Strip, our last stop before heading back to South Bend, will be in Southwest Indiana at Putnam Park racetrack.  The event will be over 3000 miles.  With the miles to South Bend and back home, the total will be almost 4,500 miles in about 8 days.

Gary "Duck" Drake from Hamilton, Ohio will be my Transit Driver again this year, helping with the highway miles, and I will do all the competition driving.  Duck is a car guy and is a great asset on our adventure. This will be my 13th One Lap and we have raised almost Thirty Seven 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.
