It's About Time (Not MPH)
Yes, I'm the owner of a 96 Ford Escort, 2dr. 5 speed
It's only been, maybe 5 years? The car is still in San Diego , in the possession of a racer / friend who handled the deal for me. Many thanks, and I'm not sure you want your name associated with this drivel. Alex and I will probably do a relay pick up this weekend. I built a quickie open trailer last month, expressly for this caper. Can't get a VIN and tag till my appointment comes up,...February 9th! My plan for Phase 1 is to do whatever it needs to get it to run a few tenths under, for our local association races. Going to get with Billy Nees Race Cars for some header pieces. I've had the 19.5 Hoosiers for a while..Will find some rims for them. I'll do whatever it takes to keep the engine from rocking and rolling and trying to jump out from under the hood when I dump the clutch..Same for the front tires. Phase 2 might be to pick up another engine and do it right, in case I ever want to go to Indy again. I doubt that would happen but I never say never. Oh, and for those still awake who think these things aren't really race cars, you may be right . I might not actually be over there in that other lane, so just leave whenever you want ;-)
