Bill,
The article in sport truck was done at LACR in the high desert of CA. They
forgot to mention that the temps were 100+ and the altitude is over 3000
feet there. You need to adjust the times for the altitude and temps to get
a good feel for the trucks. Your times sound about right for a stock R/T!
