Robert Dubler and friends, in the lone '10 Camaro running the One Lap, are solidly in 17th Overall (after 17 of 20 total events), and easily leading SSGT2/BB class. This is a very credible performance, by car AND driver, considering the 2SS is near showroom-stock, wheels/tires and pads excepted. Robert had less than 1,000 miles total seat time (and ZERO track miles/time!) in the car before the start in South Bend and was in the 50s, Overall, in the first event, the Wet Skidpad. Quite a performance, since!

For those familiar with the ever-escalating level of entries, each year, in the One Lap consider this: In 1999, Robert entered a similarly-equipped new SS against a much lower caliber overall field, drove the wheels off that LS1 version, and finished 19th Overall.

He's already 17th, with 2 events tomorrow at Nelson Ledges (a track Robert's familiar with...) and the finale Dry Skidpad back at Tire Rack on Saturday AM (probably NOT a highlite for this car).

I can guarantee you the cars (and drivers) above him, currently, are of much better abilities than those above him in '99.

So take pride in knowing this Gen5 Camaro we all know and love can truly haul the mail!!
