Our friends Jim Shipka and David Pozzi just finished driving the 2010 One Lap of America with Jim’s Optima Batteries sponsored 1967 “One Lap” Camaro. The car is a technological tour de force, including a Racepak heads-up display, a killer Katech Gen IV engine, a sophisticated suspension system tuned by Pozzi racing and more. As you can see in the post below, the car also came in for one last-minute addition before the event: a Spectre Pro-Fab Cold Air Intake.
The race itself is a grueling 3500 mile cross country trek, bouncing from track to track and pitting competitors against each other and the clock on some of the fastest road courses in the world. There’s a new track to drive every day, which sounds fun… until you consider that after a long day of driving hard in a race car with a fire suit on, you have to drive 500 miles to the next track! After nine days and races at Road America, Mid America Motorplex, Hallett, Tulsa Raceway Park, Gateway International Raceway, Mid Ohio, New Jersey Motorsports Park and Nelson Ledges, the team finished FIRST in the Vintage American class with 295 class points. We couldn’t be happier for Jim, who built this car chasing a dream, and David – who helped tune and drive what is considered by many one of the finest pro-touring cars in the world. Nice work guys!
Here are some videos from the event:
