GHIT 0333: One Lap of America 2022 – Marlon Sumlin – Sundae Cup Class

GHIT 0333:  One Lap of America 2022 – Marlon Sumlin – Sundae Cup Class In the first of a series, we reflect back on the 2022 One Lap of America with Marlon Sumlin who completed the event in his Mazda 2 Sundae Cup car.  This was Marlon's first One Lap of America, and it will not be his last.  We talk about Marlon's impressions from his first OLoA, how it is to compete in a low horsepower, Sundae Cup car, and what he learned from his first event.  As always, it seems like the first OLoA event leads to an annual habit and we cannot wait to try our first One Lap of America, hopefully next year.  If you don't yet know about the One Lap of America event, this is a great introduction, we hope.
