    I agree, quite an achievement.

    Do you know if he had larger fuel tanks or stock?

    The article talked of having extra gas tank and if you watch one of the youtube videos there was mention of a "fuel cell". For me, they've gotten have done something to get a bigger tank. After all, it's true, the time you spend at 0 mph is time that you can't make up!

    That WAS a great read! Thanks.

    I'm just sorry that I couldn't have been around to see it, or better yet, PARTICIPATE!

    Sure it's exiting to read, but I don't find that this is related to high performance driving. Reminds me more of this.
