How fast will he have to drive to get hit by the train at the I80 crossing in Salt lake? What will his rpms be at point of impact? What will be his average mpg? What time will it be in Wendover? \:\) Beater

Beater,your math is flawed, the truck will only make it just east of Carson City NV where it is taken apart to repaint the hood and won't be back on the road for close to a year. \:\) \:\) \:\)
