[Land-speed] HP/DRAG/Traction...

The electric Fusion had more than 6% tire spin when it went 186 in the 
quarter.  Somewhere around 8% went 176 in the quarter, but 204 in the 5th 
with 207 exit.  This thing had lots of power.  The fuel cell stack made more 
power after being humidified after each pass.  (the 186 run was a turn out 
after the quarter because the computer system shut it down because of 
Overpower.  It made more power than they expected.

The car hooked a little in the 3 but basically spun the tires thru most of 
the 5 miles.  I see some things from the photos that show me some chassis 
changes that might help plant the rear tires.  I would love to come back 
with this car.  Some minor refinements and revisions.....who knows....
