Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Thanks,it's a shame that I seem to of scared away my competition in class E so have to battle with class B,C,and D cars instead I was 2nd overall in the championship up until the last meeting where I had a dnf due to a broken throttle cable so I'm now 3rd with 4 more races to go.

I race in QMN class E,up to 1800cc 8 valve. The rules change anually so it'd be best to check before finalising your build.

Thanks..which group do you race in ...i am at the beginning of my car build mk1 and was looking at group E 1800 cc...but as you guessed im stuck on what i can do with the inner arches...i am using an atlas 52" and arches same as you.......

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

I cut the outer tubs and arches out in one piece, made cardboard templates and cut and seam welded infills back in between the inner tubs and rear 1/4s. Wheels are split rim revolution 4 spokes, 10 x13 rear and 9.5x13 front with 9.0-20-13 slicks.

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Very nice..like the new arches....how did you work the inner arches at the rear...have you increased your rear wheel width with the new arches...

looks very stable in the pics..

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

That was the restart after the safety car period,I was a fair bit further ahead before the sc
The injection hasn't made much difference apart from losing 9lb/ft of torque but it is easier to drive at low revs than with carbs.

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

Looks good nick, quite a caliber of cars behind you there ...

Hows the injection, has it made the car better to drive?

Re: Pushrod kings MK1 Escort race car

I like that one Nick ,i much prefer them when there are other cars in the pics gives the proper impression of racing rather than the single car shots
