I do the Indy in about 46.8s and your Escort will do very well with your power to weight ratio, especially with the right driver.

With the right set-up in geometry, new splitter and rear downforce and a reliable 300bhp by Hart, not a lot will touch you in the Special Saloons of the era.
I really hope so Iam sure and i hope all you members and veterans out there that all the very hard work and detail that iam putting into this escort will be worth it.But its got to be right!!
This Mk1 Escort is part of our Motorsport history never to be repeated so,
with all the knowledge and decades of Motorsport expertise thats out there and on this forum i am always open to pointers along the way.So please feel free to comment and guide us along the way.
As my father always said to me,theirs always someone who knows more than you, so dont be afraid to ask.
Thank you and all have a great weekend and ill post up more pics etc soon.
Cheers Pete@Spec-R
