Hey Pre, Do you have any kind of idea what props they were starting test with. I saw on Daves River place that the props they had to start they were only expecting 107mph at the limiters. Think they were 32's. They were expecting the bigger numbers with a different set of props that sounds like they didn't have yet.. Steve.

Looks like we're gonna have to wait another day. Just slap some props on those Mercs and give us a preliminary read.
