I've been following the OneLap for a long time. It is nice to see an FD, or even a rotary, do well; it is about time.
Leave it up to Damian to succeed.
Great work Damian, it must feel good to be ranked in that prestigious group.

Just finishing that event is a big accomplishment. I takes a lot of fortitude... both of the car and drivers! They're probably STILL catching up on sleep.

But from a quick look at the OLOA site:

In 1993 Ken Juran and John Schiefele ran an FD in the race, finishing 36th overall.

In 1995, John Ames and Lindsey Wilson placed 9th overall in their '93 FD.

1996 - 14th overall - Jeff Littrell and Kevin Wyum
1997 - 9th overall - Cameron Worth and Motozo Fujikawa
1998 - 27th - Rick Potter and Steve Cole
1999 - 6th overall - Potter and Cole
2000 - 8th overall - Potter and George Samuels (1st in class - SSGT2)
2000 - 13th overall - Gregory Stasiowski and Dale Black
2001 - 4th overall - Potter and Samuels (1st in SSGT2)
2001 - 10th overall - Mark O'Dell and Bill Gratton (4th in SSGT2)
2001 - 28th overall - Stasiowski and Black
2002 - 6th overall - Stasiowski and Black (2nd in SSGT2)

There are several others that I missed.

So the RX-7 has a long history in OLOA. It's been missing from the lineup the past couple of years, but has done really well overall with more than half a dozen top ten finishes.

Of course one has to remember that the FD was a more competitive car 10 years ago. The competition has gotten a LOT faster since then.

My thoughts exactly. Which makes what Damian and Andrew accomplished all the more impressive. :bigthumb:
