Two Guys Rally

Mustang as Rally Car [ November 10th, 2009 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Videos

So Ford Motor Co contacted me and wanted to play up their 2010 Mustang. Surprisingly they had a Rally style competition between two guys in Mustangs. Here’s a video of it:

Link for you RSS peeps.

Now as for the competitiveness of the 2010 Mustang, there is no actual data supporting any claims. Utecht races a 1988 Mustang in the Central Group 5 series. He is a very good driver and has been winning events (and championships in the past) and is currently in 2nd for the Central Group 5 title. Unfortunately this says nothing for the 2010 Mustang as they have completely different frames, engines, suspensions, etc…

As for Hurst, while he does work for Rally America, I have been unable to find any info on him. I still prefer the Fiesta to the Mustang in terms of a Rally platform.

Question: What Is Your Favorite Aspect of Rally? [ November 12th, 2008 ] By:Charles Smith

I’m eager to read what interests you in Rally. Is it the competition? Is it the engineering? Does the star factor related to the top racers keep you coming back for more? What gets you going for Rally?

Personally, I find the competition and engineering the most appealing (probably a reason I love F1 too). Sure, there a whole lot of other reasons that keep me coming back but what pulls me out of the slumps is the amazing things that happen in Rally. Find any rally “highlights” video on youtube and what those cars and drivers do makes my jaw drop (competition pushes the drivers and engineers). Pure amazement.

So comment below, or throw me an email (twoguysrally gmail). I really am interested.

Some other common reasons I’ve heard in the past: offroad racing, friend/family member involved, alcohol (really), pit girls…

Question: Favorite Racing? [ September 23rd, 2008 ] By:Charles Smith

While I would guess that most of you favor Rally Racing I bet there are a few of you who prefer other racing. So what is your favorite type of racing?

I’m also curious about why that’s your favorite type of racing. So go crazy in the comments or email us ( twoguysrally (ATTTTTTT) gmail ).

While I’m asking you questions I might as well ask: What do you think would help TwoGuysRally?

Do You Enjoy Hairpins? [ September 3rd, 2008 ] By:Charles Smith

I think hairpins, when not the only thing on the track(ie not autocross in so many places), are one of the neatest corners to watch. They are also some of the hardest to do really well (handbrake turn much?). Here’s a video of mostly hairpins taken by WRC drivers:

Link for the RSS peeps. Once again, I love YouTube.

Do you enjoy hairpins? Driving them? Watching them? ¿Making them?

Subaru Wheel Wells and Snow Accumulation [ April 7th, 2008 ] By:Charles Smith

I had a problem this winter: whenever I would go out and play in the snow with my WRX, snow would be melted by the tires and refreeze on the wheel well. I was wondering if you could give me some insight in how to prevent this. So leave a comment, tell me how to fix my problems.
