Max Effort at the DSM Shootout
There was a time where the DSM shootout also consisted of a full scale autocross, to offset those who wanted to do more than go straight. That event returned somewhat this year in the form of the Max Effort venue, a combination of drag race and the autocross. While a tamer more controlled version to what we did on One Lap of America, it sounded like the perfect setup for a prepped One Lap car.
It has been a few years since I myself have been to the DSM Shootout. I almost went this year, but managed to talk myself out. Luckily Chris Wirth went down to represent the One Lap team this year. Not only did he go down, but he secured a First Place in the street tire class of the new Max Effort event.

Chris is good at driving, and apparently tuning his car, but he falls short on the marketing side of things. For some reason he neglected to take one picture of the car on this trip, so we are stuck playing a game of “Where’s Wirth?” on the internet, as we scour the forums in search of proof. Here we can see him lurking through the parking lot, somehow still wearing some of the One Lap stickers on the car. If anybody finds any more pictures let us know.
