Loren, New Jeff, the Yaris, and The One Lap
One Lap in a Yaris - Vox
Just keeping an eye on Loren, New Jeff, the Yaris, and The One Lap.
There is surely a thread elsewhere, but I only go here.
Glad to see they are talking about fuel economy.
My Miata is rated at 26 mpg highway, and I commonly get 27 combined.
I really think I could get 30 mpg on a trip with the correct sized tires, by merely keeping the speed down (say 55 mph).
55mph !?!?!? .... I wonder if that law is going to come back as fuel prices go up. I think people are deathly affraid to mention it.

I like the post that stated that the blur has begun.
This would be fun to do and that sux about the Dodge crashing.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

You really should put it on your list of things to do. One Lap of America is something that you get so wrapped up in after a few days that it really becomes a vacation from reality. You just don't have much time to think about the real world. The only reason I have a moment right now is because the drag race got rained out... otherwise, we'd just be leaving the dragstrip! (instead, we're almost to our hotel in LA, and will get a full 8 hours of sleep tonight, a rarety)

Maybe one of these years. 
you can't claim FTD when the rules require a DOT tire!

Thank goodness we can live vicariously through Loren.
They need that mandrell bent exhaust to boost his hp from 106 (to 108?).
