Tire Rack One Lap Of America Finale

Saturday morning I took the boys over to The Tire Rack to watch the end of the One Lap Of America event ... for those old enough, this event is what's become of the infamous Cannonball Dash popularized by the movies Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run.

It's a chance to see up close some sweet cars and this year was no exception.  The finale is also fun because many competitors will go out onto the track and do long smokey burnouts to the cheers of the crowd :-)

Newly debuted Mongoose GTP ... you won't see many of these driving around town!

Another rare sight - the Ultima GTR - "fastest supercar in the world"

  Winner of the 2008 One Lap event

 

  

  My M3's younger stronger sibling ... with aftermarket huge supercharger ... drool!

This was THE FIRST new Dodge Challenger SRT-8's to roll off the production line ... it ate a tire barrier early in the competition but kept on tickin'

The result of doing a ridiculously long burnout :-)

Is it wrong to lust after another man's trailer?

Not your typical Honda Odyssey ... this one has rollcage, uber stiff suspension, turbo charger ... makes haulin' kids to practice very enjoyable

One of THE FIRST 2009 Nissan GT-R's to hit American soil    Nothing like a good tire carvin'
