What those guys tend to forget, is that there is a shit load of a difference between a dyno queen doing a 20 sec pull or two, and the occasional drag race, and then doing a full out rally with several minutes at a time, at full speed. Stock MAY be fine for dyno queens... proper motorsport is a different matter. Brgrds Brian

Mike Whitman brought his Escort Cossie to most of the Colorado Hill Climb Association events. He said something along the lines of, "If the engine holds up here and doesn't overheat, it will be able to handle any rally."
I was able to run more boost without overheating at Rally Colorado then I was at any of the 2-3 mile long hill climbs. Which is why I'm not sure why Dave Kern isn't running the BMW this weekend at Temple Canyon. Grant Hughes |
