RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

Escorts at the QHC, 6th June 2010. Gary & Dean in the 'true' Escorts, the Yellow and Black units sporting non Ford engines.

How did you guys go?

Interesting rear view of your car Gary, especially wheel angles

Thanks for the photos Scott. It was great to finally put a face to a name.

Had a brilliant weekend, finally won my class at the Queensland titles!! I have finished 2nd to Danny 4 times, so I would like to thank his Spray Painter for being TOO busy!!
Managed to beat my P.B. 3 times over the 2 days but really pulled one out of the bag on the last run on Sunday to do a 47.27!! This is particularly pleasing as I have finally beaten his fastest time using this engine. The problem is of course is that I am now tantalisingly close to a 46. Mmmmm ....new tyres.

Dean Tighe drove his wifes RS1600 for the first time at Mt Cotton and it great to finally see it being driven HARD. He was hoping to break the Group N record (49.03) but only managed to achieve it on Saturday when the times don't count.......frustrating. He was hampered by gearchange problems all Sunday which wrecked his chances.

There were fewer Escorts than usual as the QHC is a State championship and therefore your car has to have a Log Book.
