Its come around from an idea that Graham Millar had.

Heres what he first wrote ...

However when you try to enter it into sprints / hillclimbs there are problems because it doesn't appear to be eligible for the Modified production class, well for some of the events I do anyway. The rules for engines are very poorly defined in the Blue book which means at some events the organisers interpret the rules a different way & I have to enter the Sports Libre class with cars like single seaters on slicks. Obviously a heavy rear wheel drive escort has no chance of being competitive against this type of vehicle so it's a bit of a pointless excercise to turn up & try to win.

Having realised there are quite a few other people in my situation who are being put off from turning up at events because they cannot run competitively, I am in the process of trying to persuade some championship organisers to create a class for these type of cars.

If we can persuade the MSA & championship organisers that there is a need for some new classes to cater for this modified type of vehicle then we have some weight to our cause.

So if you are interested in competing in your modified Ford let me know & I'll pass on your interest to the people that can make things happen. A brief spec of your car to include engine type, capacity & mods to suspension etc is all i need at the moment.
I backed Graham as I saw this as a way of getting new blood into the sport, and a lot of that new blood has Old Fords with modern engines. It's these newcommers that where being put off by the thought of competing against, what looked like to them, Formula 1 cars.

The Championship has the backing of Classic Ford Magazine now, as one of their writers is entering, Jon Betts, so we are hoping for coverage each month. Along with possible Driver and car profiles.

It should be fun.

... with twin turbos on it!

Have seen photos of a Mk2 with a 6/71 supercharged 351 Cleveland engine in it (road reg!), not sure it would turn corners that well though
