That’s exactly what James Shipka and co-driver Carl Casanova will be doing. We picked up on the adventure cruising through our favorite website, pro-touring.com [2]. Joining 90 other teams from around the world in what will be the OneLapCamaros third time participating in this one of a kind event.
[3]We apologize for being a bit tardy on this one since it’s already begun but on Saturday, May 5th, the Tire Rack One Lap of America kicked off in South Bend, Indiana. Over the course of the following eight days, this automotive marathon will cover cross-coutnry distance and hit up 21 different race tracks from across the country.
The OneLapCamaro is returning for its third year defending its title as the Vintage America Class Champion. This isn’t about the title, the OLC team is out for blood.
Lucky for Camaro and ChevyHardcore.com fans, James Shipka and Carl Casanova will be updating their journey online through their blog and with live updates via their website. With a detailed map running on the site, live and a constant RSS feed throughout the entire week, we assure you won’t be left out of the loop. Not enough? Facebook fans will rejoice as live updates and posts to current events on the trip will also be posted there as well.
