Spring is in the air race fans, that means the smell of rubber and brakes…aaaahhhhh.  And it’s getting close to the time for the annual Sea to Shining Gulf Memorial Trophy Dash…The One Lap of America.

A week long tour of 3,651 miles with 14 time trial events, 2 drag races and 2 skid pad events…can’t beat that.
