This data points to a problem with very short runs [under 100 miles] for the vetter challenge. I dought there is an easy solution but we might want to have one run that is on the order of 4 or more hours run time at 70 mph [250 miles long] this would make the margin of error smaller, although the ride would be tougher.
I am working on having the VT500 ready [ 87 mpg or better...] for the Los Vgas to Barstow Vetter Challenge in november... such are my plans anyway.
