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 ;-)
