[Shotimes] One Lap at IRP report

[Dave Kegel]

Just to add to this, Kurt Metros and I saw all the One Lap cars at The Tire
Rack yesterday, doing the skid pad event.  I took a bunch of pictures and
we'll try and get them up on Kurt's website in the next day or so.

After the Tire Rack, I believe the cars were heading for Road America in
Elkhart Lake WI.  I had a fun run up to around 130 MPH on the I-80 toll road
with a couple of One Lappers in a white 70s Z28!  Fun day!
