    One lap
    « on: July 29, 2008 - 09:50:54 AM »
    Every year Car & Driver magizine hosts the One Lap of America event.  It's meant to be a throw back to the Cannonball Run, but more legal.  Here are a couple of pic's of some of the mopars that competed.  Also a link to the whole story.  This kind of stuff keeps me up at night thinking about how much fun it would be to take part in!

    Story says he lost his brakes going into turn 1 at Road America.  Driven by one of the SRT group guys.  I wonder if this was one of the test mules?  Hopefully it was, and was going to be crushed, anyways.

    The car was one of their black test cars that they had repainted.
