Do any of you know the results after the first day of the Montana 500?

Just saw it on FB. Nan Robinson is leading for today. Then Dan Brown and Larry Azevedo.

From FB.

Nice job Larry.

Day 2 Results Nan- Broken crank
Conrad- Failed rod

I must say that it is a little disappointing that they do not publish this in the forum as well.

We used to have good coverage of therace here.

Lookit stormin’ Stormo.... the 2 time winner roared up to 3rd place !!!

Any final results for the 500??

The third day was brutal. Because of a short second day, we had a rather long third day. Seventy plus miles from Glendive to Miles City and then back after gassing up. The wind was blowing at 50 MPH. Mostly a head wind going down and a tail wind coming back. I averaged around 40 mph into the wind. On the way back I had enough time on the car behind me to take it pretty easy. The severe side winds at times required attentive driving. I tried to keep my speed under sixty, but on one down hill I hit seventy. The post-run tear down was nearly as brutal as the drive from Miles City. Larry Azeveda was disqualified for having a carburetor that failed the venturi gauge. The next driver, Dan Brown, same thing. The third driver, Tony Cerovski, was disqualified for having four non-Ford connecting rods. This is specifically dis-allowed by the rules. The fourth driver, Mike Stormo, wanted to head home, so declined to have his car torn down. I was declared the winner.

Congratulations Tom on your win and thanks for the information . . . interesting results. Dennis Powers was a 40+ year friend of mine and I've known Dan Brown for some time too. I've always enjoy following the Montana 500 since I first found out about it in 1972 from a Minnesota contestant. Sounds like lots of issues this year declaring a winner. That sure must have been one hell of a drive with that kind of wind!!

Congratulations Tom,
Wow, have there ever been such a number of diqualifications??
We were in that same weather system here in Calgary yesterday with relentless
westerly winds, so I was thinking about you guys just south of the border in
your Model T's on on those prarie roads.

Yes; congratulations Tom Carnegie. You’ve accomplished a lot in furthering performance in mostly stock Model T s and are very deserving.
