Well, after some discussions with fellow MINI owner Jack07734 we're both making an attempt at the http://www.onelapofamerica.com/ for 2005. He's going to give it a go with his wife Laurie and I'm going to do it with an as of yet unannounced co-driver. I'm talking to someone about co-driving now and they seem interested and would be great to have on board. Just waiting for the '05 schedule to be released to get his full buy in.

I've started a blog (web log) documenting all of my musings regarding this One Lap attempt, you can find that here http://onelapmini.spider.org/ read what I've got so far and comment on some of my ideas, thoughts and concers. Or just wish us luck.

Now I've got to start hitting the road for sponsors...

Cheers,

Paul
