Wow, that car is moving on again! Good to see that it is still running, and seems to be in good condition.

I remember when Ross was building this, around 1999, and he would tell me about it when I would see him at Volvo events. I don't remember specifics, but he had to get creative with a lot of stuff to get it to work.

I'm wondering if the 104 mph in the 1/4 is a typo, because that's what my car can run, and it's only got a 306. And the 12.9 ET is ok, but at 104 mph, that would be a pretty good launch, and I wouldn't think the 960 IRS could handle that. 12.9 @ 114 mph would make more sense for that car, meaning lots of power, not much traction.

Thanks for posting this one!
