Mutt the Mercedes/S-10 and I are leaving tomorrow AM for the track in Wilmington, OH to finally do what I built the little guy for. I'm really eager to see how he does.

Look for performance data on Tuesday when I get home. I should get a pretty decent calculation of HP based on my top speed (there's a calculator for it on ). I think there's an S-10 frontal area number online so that'll help with accuracy.

Talk to you all soon

Dan

Sounds like fun. I couldn't help but note, you're going from Wilmington to Wilmington??

Me too...

I've actually driven right by that airport. I have friends who live in Hillsboro, not far down the road.

So this is the first ECTA event of the year I guess?

Good luck Dan! You have put a lot of excellent work into Mutt. I am confident he will run well for you.

Yep. Takes a day and a half to drive from Wilmington to Wilmington.

Tom - Thanks! Guess we'll see. He really isn't done yet (no intercooler) and I guess they never really are.

It's a land speed record car. Leave later, drive faster, arrive sooner. ( kind of like getting on a plane and arriving at your destination before you left. )
