Narrative:
During takeoff roll approximately 2000-3000' from the departure end of the runway, we spotted a yellow pickup truck rapidly crossing the runway from Z3 to L7. Perception of his speed caused us to realize he would be across well before we reached that point, so we continued our takeoff. Tower was not aware of this incursion till we brought it to their attention.
