Continuing with the last half hour of the 2014 Green Grand Prix....
There were a few cars that looked like they belonged on a track and this 2006 Porsche Cayman S was one of them. Averaging 32.2 mpg is pretty good too!

Another vehicle that looked pretty cool out there was a 1952 Chevy Pickup with a Cummins diesel. There's little doubt the engine was loafing along with plenty of power to spare, and this truck did excellent on the sharpies! One of the faster runners on the track, it averaged 22.7 mpg - Nice job!!

Did somebody call CSTEP? If the GGP is supposed to be fun then this car had that written all over it! A 1959 Vauxhall Victor (looking a little like a vintage taxi-cab) competed - with passengers! Two thumbs-up for the Vauxhall Victor!!

Getting awfully close to the end, we caught up to the Alfred State Insight again! A previous winner at the GGP, today the heavily modified 2003 Honda Insight would average 67.6 mpg:

Next was another one of the faster cars on the track, a 1989 Toyota Supra. There's no mpg figure posted on the results sheet but if there was one for having a ball the score would've been really, really high! Thanks for some comic relief and the black plume as you went by!!!

The last vehicle Team Centurion would squeak by before the checkered flag was smokey442's Chevy S/10 pickup. Averaging an extremely respectable 37.7 mpg would certainly make this a story worth telling after the event was long over!
