Krolewicz to campaign Mongoose GTP in 2008 One Lap of America
Jon Krolewicz will be teaming up with Mongoose Motorsports
to run a Mongoose GTP in the twenty-fifth running of the TireRack Cannonball One Lap of America
After driving all-wheel-drive cars in his first four One Lap events, Krolewicz will try his hand at the 505-horsepower mid-engine rear-wheel-drive Mongoose.
“It’s certainly a different step, but one I am looking forward to,” Krolewicz said.
This will not be Krolewicz’s first time competing in the GTP, he won the class honors in the Pro Big Block at the 2007 Kit Car Run N’ Gun event at Gateway International Raceway outside of St. Louis.
“We have been working on the car, doing more tuning, more suspension work, and making it more reliable,” Krolewicz said. “I don’t know if it’s ready to run at the front every day, but it can run near the front, and hopefully be there at the end for a strong finish.”
The Mongoose GTP is a replica of the 1980s Lola-built Corvette Grand Touring Prototype that ran in the top class at races like the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
This year One Lap of America will take place May 3-10, going as far west as Houston, as far south as Belle Rose, Louisiana, and as far north as Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The event will cover 4000 miles of street driving while stopping at ten tracks in eight states.
Krolewicz’s dad Ray will again go along as a co-driver, and as of this report, a team Mongoose GTP will be run by Danny Popp and Jeremy Herzberg.
