Well OPPO’s, I got the email last night, I’m going Racing!

Milan, ready for some RALLY

If you remember I was Waitlisted:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Must be the luck of the Irish that got me into the field of 60 cars for RallyCross this weekend. I’m sure that, while having done zero research, I HAVE to be the only one who’s ever raced a Mercury Milan in RallyX. I hope to do the rich Mercury Racing history proud.

Can’t wait!

I’ll be sure to post pictures and the story of my first racing event next week.

Anyone else going to RallyX in Ohio this weekend?

lol, nah the 68 wouldn’t make it down there right now, I have to pull the motor and do freeze plugs.

and the off road setting would make those floor board holes worse I think.....

DAMN

I figured though, Wauseon is barely into Ohio and it IS the Detroit area SCCA

Well it is close to BGSU like 30 minutes or so but I am going home so it is like 3 hours.

In all honesty though, depending on when you’re going back out that way on Sunday, you might make the second “After lunch” session

I usually get back by 6pm

haha, thanks for the try, they were the stars of NASCAR in the late 60's, but never made the rally circuit

Really well actually, the thing is a monster again scares Honda kids at one of the meets I go to they called it “quiet” so I showed them how quiet it was....it registered 114db in a revving contest...

03/17/2016 at 11:53

hahaha, I’m at 86 or so at idle

I haven’t test at full rev, but I imagine loud as hell.

And I’m glad the smaller carb is working a lot of people are all OMG GOTTA GET A 750 all the time and it just over fuels the motor and wastes gas.

Well the 780 on the old one was really good though

I bet a lot of guys running really high cfm carbs, could swap down and run faster.

Well my engine is a little starved once I really get into it and like floor it to like 6500

Alright, well if it’s starved or running lean anywhere in the power curve, it needs a bigger one.

I’m just saying a lot of guys go a little CFM happy...
