GHIT 0333: \xa0One Lap of America 2022 \u2013 Marlon Sumlin \u2013 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.\xa0 This was Marlon\u2019s first One Lap of America, and it will not be his last.\xa0 We talk about Marlon\u2019s 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.\xa0 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.\xa0 If you don\u2019t yet know about the One Lap of America event, this is a great introduction, we hope.
