One Lap Camaro Preps for the One Lap...
Hello Folks,
We have met a bunch of great people since we launched ISIS to the market in 2008. I just had a good conversation with one of our early partners, James Shipka. He and his team built an amazing Pro-Touring 1967 Camaro RS, specifically for the One Lap of America Challenge. If you have never heard about the One Lap of America Challenge, you have to check this out. This is a Smokey & The Bandit Style, no-holds barred, 3,500 mile race that puts man and machine to the test. It is certainly not for the faint of heart.
If you haven't stumbled across James' car an any one of the many magazines that have featured it, it is beautiful. The fit and finish are top notch. Outside of just being a pretty car, this thing performs. They have been cleaning up everywhere they go. Check out their exploits at their website.
We crossed paths with James and his team as we were starting to prepare for SEMA in 2008. We put out a posting offering early ISIS 3-Cell Kits to team building cars for the show. James was just at the right place in his build to start wiring his car. His Camaro was built with all modern technology: LS7 Motor, performance suspension, stickier tires & brakes. The concept of a simpler install, with modern functionality out of the wiring harness was enough to get him behind the product. He has one of the earliest installs and honestly, this car has been through some grueling miles over the road. This car is a testament to the durability of ISIS.
James and his team are furiously preparing for the One Lap of America Challenge. I'll keep you all updated on their progress and let you know how they do in the race.
Jay
