    Montana 500-ford, but not mustang

    I was asked to drive a car in the Montana 500 and accepted the offer. The Montana 500 is a timed 500 mile endurance event for Model Ts taking place June 16, 17 and 18. We are preparing the car now. I will be driving a 1926 roadster.
    Wish me luck!

    Re: Montana 500-ford, but not mustang

    I would guess so.  I have a '18 Model TT truck, and with solid rubber rear tires you aren't going over like 15 or 20mph.  Also I think it has like a 6.xx rear gear in it.  Lord knows I would never want to drive it for more than an hour or so.  Hats off to the guys competing in this event, especially our own boss347convertible!
