In Cresson? The 1.7? Hell, I can turn a 16 there on a motorcycle.
Last I heard isn't lap record for a bike in 1:11-13 range? Ty Howard had it 2008 or so 1:13. What bike you run?

Toyota must be doing something right. 10 years ago they probably had closer to 5-10% of the marketshare.

this is just about impossible, unless you have propane injection or some other type of "mods" i tune these vehicles and hop them up. the best ive seen is ~18mpg with a tune and exhaust and intake for the 2011 F350 6.7 diesel. and this is a special max fuel mileage tune that is not for towing or anything else... Friends 2015 6.7 f250 gets 16mpg highway. Other friends 6.4 f250 that's deleted and sct tuned can get 20mpg highway. driving easy. 2010 duramax upgraded fuel pump. deleted. h&s tuned can get 21 highway with me driving. 13mpg towing 21' legend. These are gas pump with calculator numbers. Never trust the dash mpg calculator.

Heck I bet I don't get 14 mpg but really don't care about gas mpg I care about performance and pulling my boat 70 mph with out killing my truck, I have had chevy (biggest pice of [censored] ever),ford f250, and ford 5.4, the eco has been great to me at this point but only 64,000 on truck, as the racing goes either you like speed or your in the way in my book  I did go look at a Toyota two weeks ago as the wife has always had one and there great cars so figure the trucks are good too, sales guy told me they suck gas but pull like tank, still thinking I will stay with my eco for now job market is way to up and down to pull the trigger on a new truck. By the way I have a 2005 Avlon with 146,000 on it for sale if anyone needs a car

very cool! I never did bikes, my good friend Ron Rippe did. I retired myself from car racing after 2011, since I've been bass fishing.

This thread is about towing, where did racing your tow vehicle come from? For those that want to race tow vehicles, are you going to race with or without your boat in tow? Let me know when yall are going to the track, I want to watch. LOL That should be fun to see. Actually the thread was started as a survey on who owned what brand. Lol, this ^^^ Thread derailed...
