Who Has The Most Bad Assed Car In Central?
And you think that is more strain on a motor than running full out for a few HOURS (not 9 seconds at a time) and doing the same thing? One Lap of America is the EXACT SAME THING as Drag Week, but using a road course. If you thinkt hat Drag Week is more of a strain on a vehicle than road racing, you've lost your mind, or you got some good shit from WallysDA.
Idiots or not, Brock listens to the One Lappers and starting in 1992 put the Cannonball One Lap of America on the format it uses today: Nearly twenty-four hours a day driving with competition taking place as time trials on race tracks throughout the country. The event, as it always has been, is foremost one of endurance and vehicle preparation. No support crews are allowed. The tires that are used on the street are the same ones that are raced on (one set per team). Although scoring is based on performance at the race tracks, the vehicles and their drivers must survive over 5000 miles of driving interspersed with the finest meals available at gas station convenience stores. Personal hygeine takes a holiday and friendships (sometimes marriages) are stretched to the limits as these competitors battle fatigue, weather, traffic and the demands of high-speed competition with both unknown amateurs and seasoned professional drivers like Parnelli Jones, Price Cobb, John Buffum, Elliot Forbes Robinson and Hurley Haywood.
So you're right, its not like Drag Week. One lap is more intense, covering 4000+ street miles with no support crew in a week, all while visiting 5 different ROAD COURSES and racing on them as well.

Any info on dragweek?
im talking about any car that classifies themselves as a badass street car but cant last 1400 miles on the street. a racecar would fall into that category if they cant drive 1400 miles, correct?
To an extent, yes that is correct. I'm sure some racecars could last longer than that on the street, and I'm sure there are some street cars that have broken before getting that many miles on the street. I just don't see why you even brought up anything regarding a racecar with a 2 or 3 speed transmission driving on the street, when no one contested that fact, and we were only talking about street cars anyway.
