Jay Leno sets speed records

By Paul Crowe

Jay Leno has all the fun. Everyone’s favorite motorcycle and car guy who has the best damn collection of motor vehicles I have ever seen, went out setting records on the Talladega Speedway:

Leno, an avid car enthusiast, drove a stock Porsche Carrera GT to a speed of 156.603 to establish the world record for the fastest lap ever run from a standing start on a closed course by a production vehicle. He also set records for the fastest mile (128.14) and fastest kilometer (110.478) for a production car from a standing start.

He also had a nice spin at over 180mph, oops! Still, he has all the fun.
