even while hooning he probably set a faster lap time than most 458 owners will ever be capable of

I'm a 22 year old, non-Cuban Floridian. I guess that makes me....ah, crap

@lilwillie: I can tell you that the banking in Nascar 1 and 2 was super bumpy and 3-4 wasn't much better. the new surface will definitely be nice for the Grand Am guys too.
