One Lap stipulates that a fire extinguisher must be included in each car. After a little direction from Matt (whom I met at Mid-Ohio), I went with a Brey Krause universal mount. It uses the seat attachment bolts to secure a very adjustable and well built unit designed to hold a 2.5lb extinguisher. After an evening on my head and a trip to the hardware store, the unit was mounted and ready to go.After fitting the extinguisher, Joe took Ronnie into the shop and graciously performed an oil change, tire swap (new rubber at all 4 corners), and final prodding before giving the thumbs up.
During the week, we received notification that our graphics were done. We picked them up on Friday and began the installation on Saturday.
On our hood is a “Team AC ~ DC” graphic that was concepted by Amanda and designed by Omar Hernandez. You’ll notice that we chose a white splatter as the hood already had stone chips that added to the motif!Ronnie’s rear bumper is now sporting a red and gold banner for George Dadas. He’s my insurance agent and a really good guy – definitely breaks the stereotypes and understands my mild car related insanity.
Guido’s (my 90 lb 4 legged friend) favorite activity is to stand in the rear seat of the car and stick his head out the sunroof. While this extensively entertaining (he sneezes…), it does leave quite the layer of hair. Needless to say, Ronnie is now fully vacuumed and ready for the final fitting of interior accoutrements.
My fiancé was gracious enough to bless me with an early birthday present this year – getting me a Go Pro Hero HD Camera so that I could capture some of our activities on One Lap. This thing is totally waterproof and has a suction cup mount that I’ve personally tested to 115mph (legally, of course). I’m excited.Only 4 days left before departure!
