Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

I've now entered for Thruxton next saturday (15th Aug),as it's the fastest circuit in the country I'm thinking of going down the Top gear transit route of aerodynamics and tape all of the appertures (that aren't needed for cooling) and gutters to try and make better airflow.
I just hope the tyres don't burst

Well done Nick, I didn't see much of you on the day apart from early in race one when I was following in your smoke

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

The misfire problem is now solved I just had to take the gearbox out, replace a gasket to cure the oil leak and then put the 'box back in between races. The 2nd race was interesting on my hand cut slicks (last years drys) but as least the wiper waited until I was in the paddock to fall off

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

its not that much faster than the indy circuit, and with a new car the best devlopent you can do is drive it!

I Know you are right Graham but i was hitting the limiter 2/3rds of the way down the pit straight so thought the gp circuit would not be ideal but i will do a few more rounds this year hopefully,sorry to hijack your thread Nick

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car
