My home track is Greenfield Raceway. I ran the Merc in August of 2004, the best et was 14.69 @ 94mph with the new rearend, higher gears and Cragar wheels. The car is heavier now and the traction was worse. The Merc was raced twice and will be retired from the track as I'm currently building a 1994 Thunderbird for track only duty. It will have 351W/C4 for power. We hope to have it running for the summer of 2005.
