Jim is shown presenting the 2013 event picture to Kristen Snoke
the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition Community Outreach Director.

Jim Roberts of Mount Joy along with Steve Barrett of Fairfield Ohio, will compete in the 2014 One Lap of America. A major part in this effort will be raising money for the Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition. Stickers with the Pink Breast Cancer ribbon will be placed on the car for each donation of $10 or more, and can be “In Honor of”, “In Memory of”, or you can put your own name on to show your support of the Breast Cancer Coalition.


This will be Jim’s 6^th One Lap of America and he has raised several thousand dollars for the Breast Cancer Coalition as part of the effort. Make a donation and you can ride along “vicariously” on the trip and help a great cause.  The Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition, celebrating its 21^st Anniversary in 2014, represents supports and serves breast cancer survivors and their families in Pennsylvania through educational programming, legislative advocacy and breast cancer research grants. The PBCC is a statewide non-profit organization that creates the hope of a brighter tomorrow by providing action and information to women with breast cancer today.


To make a donation and get a sticker on the car, stop in at the store or send to Jim Roberts, % West Main Auto, 14 W. Main St. Mount Joy, Pa. 17552 along with who to name on the sticker. Please make all checks payable to Pa. Breast Cancer Coalition or PBCC for short.  If anyone who is sympathetic to the breast cancer cause and would like to be a "Captain" to help collect funds from friends co-workers etc, I can provide you with donation sheets.  Please email me at jimbobcorv@comcast.net 


The Cannonball One Lap of America is an endurance race that will challenge the preparation and endurance of both man and machine. It is an offshoot of the original “Cannonball Sea to Shinning Sea Memorial Trophy Dash” created by Brock Yates in the early 1970’s. In 1984 Brock reworked the format to make it more acceptable to the general public and law enforcement, and continued to change the format until in 1992 it evolved into what it is today, where all the competition takes place on the tracks.


Each year One Lap goes off in a different direction to another part of the country. This year Jim will travel nearly 5,000 miles in a little over a week covering much of the Eastern United States. The first leg of the trip will be going from Lancaster County Pa. to South Bend Indiana, the starting spot for One Lap, and the first event, a wet skid pad competition.  The second event will be at Grissom Air Force Base also in Indiana, then it's south to Memphis, Tennessee to New Orleans then on to Mobile, Alabama followed by Atlanta then up to Spartanburg South Carolina.  After South Carolina it's north to New Jersey Motorsports Park, west to Mid Ohio then to Gingerman in Michigan and back to South Bend. They will compete in about 20 events including 2 skid pad competitions, a large autocross on the runways at Grissom Air Force Base, two drag strip events and the rest will be road course time trials. At each track Jim will do Time Trial events and accumulate points against competing cars in both class and overall standings. Jim will do all the competitive driving and will share the driving over the highways with his transit driver Steve Barrett. Typically there will be about 75 entries from professional racers to amateur track guys, but all must have racing credentials or at least high performance driver school experience. The car they are using is Jim’s Yellow 2000 Corvette Coupe which has been modified to add a little extra horsepower and has several performance and suspension upgrades.
