Hi everybody in Escort land. Just a comment on a result I had last weekend in the 2015 QLD SUPER SPRINT SERIES A round 3. The old girl did okay on the Morgan Park Raceway Track K (3km). I managed to win my class which is run over three laps against the clock. 1st lap standing start followed by 2 flying laps. These are added together for a final total. Fastest three lap run is your result. Here's the results for my class http://www.mylaps.com/en/classification ... perClass=1 Just remember my car is registered so compromises have to be made with the car. That was okay but I managed to get 3rd outright with my fastest standing lap being 1.26.9 and fastest flying lap a 1.23.66 by my in car lap timer on 1 year old tyres ( good new tyres worth so much extra time) got beaten by a 7l Cobra and a V8 Radical. Official time is faster here is the link http://www.mylaps.com/en/classification/3592815 but I don't think I did those times. Really happy with how the car is going. My laps is @#$% so here is the entry list so you can see the cars involved http://www.morganparkraceway.com.au/for ... 0LIST.pdfd Here is a link to one of my runs with Mark Wright great bloke with a 1100kg VP commodore which has a bit over 400hp at the wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkhYJcrpj1Y this is what makes it a great weekend.
Reason for the wank about my Escort is it would be great to have more Escorts competing in this event. Anyone who has run this event has loved it ( my 15th year ). I also enjoy hill climbs. It's where I learned to push hard on cold tyres but 3 laps treated like 3 qualifying is harder to do than it looks. I need more Escorts entered in this event. You would not be disappointed. A different track every round and very relaxed atmosphere, camping at the track is allowed. Scott Doyle and Gary Pit can say how much fun they have had driving there and to a lesser extent Danny ( his car is so suited to Morgan Park Race way I wish it was there ) The weekend after Bathurst is the State Championship with a different track each day added together for a total which gives you your result. I'm not trying to drum up business for Morgan Park ( A & B series combined has over 300 entries ) just hoping more Escort drivers would come and enjoy a great series that doesn't brake the bank account. The town pubs I highly recommend great food great drink. Instead of polishing your Escorts come and run them on a track that has plenty of run off (way more than MT Cotton or Noosa ).
Have a great day.
