Very Funny how they would publish an article on the one that had problems but have not done an article on the one that won its class????

Billy.. two different mexican rallys

the www.chihuahuaexpress.com  last April was the rally  where  Ron Lee brought down his Kurtis and had a DNF

I ran this  also and finished 3rd in class .(running out of gas and hitting a gaurd rail slowed us down)

It was won by a beautiful '51 Chrysler w/ 331 hemi

second was a very nice '54 Lincoln Capri w/a Y block

the www.lacarrerapanamericana.com.mx  last Oct was when we won our class in the 1954 Crestline/victoria w/ a 292 Y block

second was a mercedes and third a studebaker
