10% seems huge! (obviously) This means 20 mph on a 220 run?
My guess is this varies w/ salt conditions. Anyone know if the slip %
changes w/ speed? How would we know what causes the slip? Aero drag,
too much hp (always funny, eh?)

Anything under 10% made me happy. We were at 6% at WOS once.
Our normal was 8-10%
