    One Lap of America

    West Bend Dyno had the honor of being a sponsor of the FM3 Marketing Z06 Corvette that competed in the OLOA event this year.

    West Bend Dyno was responsible for all the mechanical up-keep on the car and installed all the performance parts which consist of the usual suspects: Full exhaust, cam, intake and the tune... The car made 560 RWHP.

    Team FM3 Performance Marketing final results:

    23rd Overall - 76 total entrants
    12th in Class - SSGT1 Big Bore - 18 entrants

    What a great week! Team FM3 Performance Marketing just completed one of the most exciting and grueling weeks of our lives - The Tire Rack One Lap of America. The team of Steve Kepler and Jimi Day took on 18 events and more than 3900 miles over seven days. As One Lap "puppies", the term for rookies, we really didn't know what to expect other than a lot of driving. What we experienced over the week was so much more!



    The team at West Bend Dyno went over the top - they prepped and tuned the car to perfection. They installed all the parts and made sure everything worked, and it did! Your hard work paid off for us in that we didn't have a single issue with the car all week - and it was a week of attrition for many competitors. You guys do fantastic work and you will be our race shop of choice from now on.

    Congrats West Bend Dyno! I have always liked reading about the one lap events and that is one of the things that got me involved with a few different road rallies...

    This is just the begining for West Bend Dyno being involved with cars that compete in these sort of events. WBD is also going to be featured in GM High-tech Performance magazine - Installing a set of new from the ground up LSX cylinder head design and camshaft in a 2008 LS3 powered C6 and then tuning it. This will be a featured tech article. The shoot will be taking place soon and will make into print a month afterwards.

    It would be cool to see these FM3 guys try for a spot in the bull run competition too!

    Very cool, they just did a Subaru for One Lap up here at Done Rite, it's crazy what those guys go through for that race. Sounds like a whole lot of fun!

    Well if you mean the Bullrun tv show, that, for the time being, is no more....However the actual Bullrun Rally is filmed and is part of a show on the BBC called Cops, Stars, and Superstars.

    Dan, this rally as well as others (I am doing at least two this year, one that goes through 3 states on the east coast and one through wisconsin) are a blast, plus you get to see/do things that you would probably never get to do unless you have a lot of coin (for instance, meeting NASCAR legend David Pearson and taking two laps at Darlington). Most of them dont cost that much to do either. You have a blast and get to party like a rockstar, what is there not to like?
