A little of this, a little of that

This weekend we took the car out for a little fun. Soren, Erik and I hit up the MN Austin-Healey Club's Healey Hillclimb IX! Its a fun little autoX, then run up the hill from the parking lot. Lots of beautiful cars, lots of fun driving, not lots of video, because my in car camera was stupid. Here's Soren on Patrol.


And here's Erik in his beautiful NSX. Sucks about the clutch slipping now Erik.


And in bigger news, let me introduce you to the car on the team, Miss Escort 1982! Soren just brought the car back from the frozen tundra of Roseau, where he bought from CO and Jim, who used to run the car in SCCA Rally.


The engine is 1.9L from, I have no idea. Its fuel injected at least, so that's cool. I think its from a later model Escort, but not sure of the year.


It already looks like a ChumpCar doesn't it?


Manual transmissions, and its already set up with not 1, but 2 race seats! Granted we'll have to pull the passenger seat.


Its already fully caged, though we'll have to double check some of the rules and maybe raise or add another door bar, and potentially another diagonal tube in the plane of main hoop. We'll see, gotta email the man Lloyd.


And LOTS of spare wheels, and lots of spare parts. Everything you'd need to build a second ChumpCar!
