I meant that if Cole is not obeying the speed limit, he should be faster. My guess is he is he is keeping it under 130KPH.

Blade Hildebrand has WON the OP.1 class. Beating out competitors such as the Coronels.

I would love to see Robby bring three cars again next year. A Hummer like vehicle for him and two Textron’s to compete in the SxS class. He would still have the support behind him if anything goes wrong and the Textron's could compete for the win in their class. A long time between now and then in Robby’s world and hectic schedule. But I think he would actually get more exposure for the Textron’s doing it this way.

A mash up of the the hummer chassis + awd + a small displacement turbo diesel from Gale Banks would do the trick!

the Gale Banks Turbo diesel would not be legal

well that's a bummer. There has to be a way to make a TD that conforms to the rules. It seems to be the way the factory teams make big horsepower without getting restricted for big displacement. Gale's a freaking genius. He could do anything with a diesel engine.
