Gas weighs under 6.5lbs..... cannonball!

You will definitely need more top speed time to account for traffic, ramps, and everything else. Honestly as far as the new modern method of spotters, blockers, and planes. That disinterests me more. If it were to be something I ever attempted or was involved in it would only be a pure run attempt. No help from anyone outside the vehicle other than circumstance or available data. I got interested in this stuff long before I the modern guys got doing it, and I did my western run at 18 before i even knew about the races.

Only the luckiest of souls could do it without all the assists, but I still Believe it's possible as someone who has both gotten caught at speed and gotten away at speed. It's all luck.

With my current life, time, and location I doubt I ever would. I am just musing about how good a Mavericks could be. Who knows maybe one will set the pickup truck record. It's light, it handles like a car, it has racing in its DNA, and it is unassuming. Would definitely be a joy to see a plain Jane XL Maverick going 130 down the highway with what looks like a weed Wacker sticking out of a tonnoaue cover!

Would definitely need some suspension up grades for the Mountain curves.

Im sure a coil over setup would help with some springs dialed for the added weight. Probably have air assist aswell. Strut tower brace. Sway bars and some side to side bracing on the bottom side of things. Tremor axleshafts. Really could take all the Tremor drivetrain bits. Lots of things we already have available.

"Cannonball Run Sea to Shing Sea?" You do know that Maui is an island, don't you?

That makes for a much shorter race if held on Maui…
