The Count Down to BABE RALLY 2006


We've got a full tank of gas (actually we do not because the tank leaks)
half a pack of cigarettes (We can't afford a full pack)
it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it

Team BM Racing is making final preparations for the BABE RALLY 2006. Our ride will be a classic 1967 AMC Rambler American. This senior citizen of the road promises to be one of the most unique and troublesome cars at the rally.

We have made sure the safety basics like the brakes work and have installed a new set of Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks to make the ride more comfortable. We have new tires from Rim & Trim that were install by Frank Ponte at the Hunter Engineering Training Center in Hudson, OH.
The alignment reveled a broken leaf spring, and a .24ยบ thrust angle. But with the assistance of some helper springs, we now have an acceptable ride height.

More updates to come..
Tomorrow we will have a picture with all the stickers on the car.



Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Jake: Fix the cigarette lighter.
