Paul_G Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 I have been to see Mick today, he was out tearing about yesterday and is sure there is not many cars out there that will keep up with him He is looking to knock 10 seconds off the lap record for a mk1 Escort. Mick is very confident, excited and mad about breaking the record. BHP ? 260 -280 on throttle bodies???

MK2Ed Posted September 19, 2007 Report Posted September 19, 2007 Nice one. Do keep us posted on developments/success, etc. Are you able to give a heads up on the basic spec? As Gaz said, would be good if one or two of the mags covered the event so we get to see commentary, pics, etc. Good luck
