Article provided by David Goodman.

For the fifth year in a row we are proud to announce that AutoBahn Performance has renewed it’s prime sponsorship of the Goodman/Goodman entry in the 2005 Tire Rack One Lap of America – www.onelapofamerica.com.

This year’s eight day (April 30 - May 8, 2004) cross country endurance road rally and racetrack time trial event will cover over 3,600 miles in one week with over 200 additional track miles.

Team lead, David Goodman said of the news: “I couldn’t be happier. No one knows the setup of this car better than Autobahn Performance. For over five years now they have provided the service and suspension geometry that has led to three Vintage Foreign Class podium finishes in the last three years. That kind of commitment speaks volumes about the kind of shop Rick Hetherington runs. Just last year when a gearbox problem arose, those guys were on the phone on a Saturday afternoon troubleshooting the problem. Where else are you going find that level of support?”

This year the One Lap will start and end at the Tire Rack Facility in South Bend Indiana, and travel to the following
venues in between:

Indianapolis Raceway Park – Indianapolis, IN BeaverRun - Beaver Creek, PA Lancaster Speedway - Lancaster, NY New Hampshire International Speedway - Loudon, NH The Shenandoah course at Summit Point – Summit Point West Virginia Virginia International Raceway – Danville, VA Roebling Road – Bloomington, GA Nelson Ledges – NY
	* The longest leg is a grueling 780 mile run from Bloomington, GA to Lancaster, NY.

The Team

The One Lap drivers consist of car owner David Goodman and his brother Sam. 2005 will David’s fifth consecutive year driving this historic event and Sam’s first. The One Lap team however consists of an extended group of family and friends.

The Car
