Escort Suspension issues

Re: Escort Suspension issues

I think it's back on the gocart track this time. We've done a good few on the main circuit as well and also a combination of the both. It makes a nice change swapping things about. I think I prefer the main circuit as we use cones instead of tires so less chance of damaging the car, but if you do demolish a cone you get to pay £5 for its replacement and you get a 5 second time penalty for everyone you touch. Encouragement to keep it clean. I think a couple have pulled out already.

Re: Escort Suspension issues

I did the Motorkhana down Pembrey Circuit on Sunday. The car suffered from fuel surge all day. The strange thing is it didn't do it at all during the last 2 events. I hadn't brimmed the tank this time but when I added more fuel it made it worse. It's running a mk1 3 litre capri tank, through a low pressure filter, into a swirl pot then through a pump and high pressure filter. The return goes into the pot then a relief goes of the top of the pot and back to the tank. Does it need a low pressure pump to feed the pot? Anyway I had 1st in class and 3rd overall, but on the last run I smashed it into a couple of lorry tires and bent the front panel and wing. In my temper on the next chicane I clipped the back on the tire wall denting the lower rear quarter and destroying the rear bumper. It's off to get repaired tomorrow.

Cheers Graham. I'll have to sort one out then.
