One Lap of America: Four Tires and a Spare

By Jen Dunnaway

I’m setting out for One Lap of America tomorrow with Steven Rankins’ Boxer4Racing Subaru team, and I couldn’t be more excited! Just take a look at our route map, complete with all the track locations we’ll be hitting—I guess there’s a reason Brock Yates Jr. has called this enduracnce event "a season of racing in a week." Another cool aspect of the tour is that we have to run the entire 4000-mile journey and ten gruelling track events on a single set of tires, when racers will often go through multipe sets during a single race weekend. Steven decided to use a fresh set of the Continental ContiSportContact3’s he ran last year, because they held up so well—and we do get to bring along a spare for emergencies. Stay tuned, as CarDomain’s going to be bringing you up-close coverage of the track racing and the long hauls for the entire 4000 miles. We’ll be kicking off the tour in South Bend, Indiana this weekend. See you there!
