Here is a story about last year's One Lap.

Didn't read link well. Can anyone participate in just the pit race trial?

I am curious about this too?

It is a tour from South Bend, IN ( Tire Rack HQ ) to several tracks over several days, then returning to South Bend for the final event. The winner has the lowest elapsed time combined for all the events. You have to sign up for the entire event. My buddy Greg (gpfarrell on SCS) did it years ago and said it was awesome. I'm just going on 5/10 to watch - some neat cars and some very good drivers. Read the rules and the schedule - this thing is like a triathlon for cars & drivers.

I really would love to do this! Only rule i was unclear of was the prior experience thing. Yes ive gone to local events for racing, autocross etc. But is a driving school or class session required?

[Darren]

oh... just noticed the fine print. its 3000 to enter. damn thats pricey

damn school loans.....

Just about everyone who enters does it with a group of people. The entry fee is per car - pretty sure. Plus there is so much driving between tracks that one person would have a rough time getting enough rest, especially if/when the car needs some type of work.

Anyone who goes to see this leg of the event will have a good time. Lots of fun to talk to the drivers about their cars and experiences in the OLOA event.
