I'm sure my Toyota would handle everything I threw at it too if I was paid to say that in a commercial.

I'm really just rubbing Todd, But I also would never consider buying a Toyota Tundra. I live in the pick up truck capital of the world and The Toyota is the truck most prefered by soccer dad's. Farmers and oil guys still by Chevy and Ford. I had the worst pile of Ford Diesel for 5 years and would not have traded it for a Toyota, really.
Completely understand your position, just tossing a little ammo Todd's way in the joust.

Disclosure - Family farm has Ford and John Deere.

Nice pool!

Ok, this is good insider information. I read it as the new 2:14 is a 2:10, and that means I will shoot for a 2:09, and someone will tell me that I ran a 2:14 only. Then the rules will change, and I will know that I ran something between a 2:10 and a 2:14..... That's good right? I can live with that..... It means I'm still pretty fast right....?

That's all I need to know.

I'm thinking 2:10-2:12.

Here's the track configuration and a Porsche running a 2:11 lap.

Thanks for catching that Chad, CW 1 goes one loop further. Wonder how much more time for that loop. My guess would be around 7 seconds.

I was curious so checked out that driver of the Carrera and he runs pretty often and has some class wins apparently, so apparently 2:11 ain't a bad lap at BW. His best lap at Streets of Willow a few years ago was 1:31 -- I was 1:28 on street tires -- so I revise my goal for BW down to 2:08.

Happy Birthday Lumberjack Rodger Dodger. Do you have a fireworks show and Fighter Jet flyover scheduled for tonight?
