What the heck is up with the VW Beetle TDI doing this good overall?
It stands way better than the RX-8 and many other cars I'd have never thought of being behind it.

Grocery getters laying it down in the wet at Road America despite some of them having awful rain tires.

Tire selection coming back to haunt AMS once again...

Just 2 events left! Pretty interesting top 10 so far this year.

Pretty impressive, 4 midsize sedans and one econo car in the top 10. Not bad when you're going up against twin turbo tube frame Vipers with 1000whp, Nobles with 100k worth of mods, and basicly dedicated race cars like the Ultima GTR.

I'm pretty shocked the AMS car held together and did so well, it's a testament to what an amazing shop they run. To finish a car the week before an event like One Lap, have virtually no seat time or track tuning time and finish 3rd overall is incredible. Other guys in this event have years of development in their cars and sometimes travel to every track on the schedule at least once before One Lap starts.

How about an SUV in the top 20? And a good number of Ultima's and Noble's this year.

Something from the SUV class has placed in the top 10 (4th and 8th) each of the last two One Laps.
