Nigel Goes to the Second City

With new tires, suspension and a much needed ipod connection, Nigel head off to Chicago this weekend. Greg took him the 831 miles from little Central Valley, NY to Libertyville, IL.

Nigel is going to receive new seats and harnesses, a roll bar, and a full detailing before the One Lap begins. Once track prep is done, then its time to hit the road again for the beginning of the One Lap.

As the race is coming closer, Greg and I ask that you tell everyone you know about Nigel and the One Lap. We want to raise awareness for our charity - Rainbows, our sponsors, and of Nigel (of course).

Once the One Lap starts, we will have daily updates and uploads of video from each lapping session. So keep tuned starting April 30th!!!!

  1. I hope you have a great time! It looks like a ton of fun.

    Thank you for also putting you hobby towards a cause. I can relate to the people you are doing this for, as I lost a parent to an accident during my teenage years. Luckily, things have panned out, but I still understand.

    For that it's worth, your car's name keeps putting the song "Making Plans For Nigel" by XTC in my head.
