Very cool project. My Dad would get into go-fast boats if there was more performance diesel options. One of the few articles I'm forwarding to him!

Did anyone else mistakenly believe this was a Jim Darr thread? I saw "Wagler, Custom, Skater" and thought Wiggler Custom Skater!

I assure you there is not any association with Darr. Tyson and Tristan do what they put their mind to every time!

We should be able to get 2 mpg at 100 mph so somewhere around 2500-2800 miles.

I really dig the endurance efforts. The New Orleans to St Louis has cool history, esp with Howard Arneson's run. Hauling up the Mississippi may be one of the riskier ventures. Definitely a bit of luck involved with that one.

Good luck and be safe in all your efforts.
