Friday just been, and Grant Sprague was out testing his newly acquired Escort RS2000 at Hampton Downs. This is apparently the first time Grant has been on track in 15 years.....................................Grant>>>>..........13 years Steve...I sold the Mustang ....but time does fly .......... Geeeeee what a fantastic learning curve , I thought I would just rock up on a test day & learn this beautiful circuit & be sort of close to the other little ford pintos & that was not to be the case , the first session a bit damp & wet , corners blind in places , missing apexes, getting annoyed & started over driving going & slower.....came back in slowed my self down & went quicker by not being silly going back to smooth mode , but still a long way off to where we need to be on saying that we did a big think tank and looked at things that I know will improve the car plus more laps for me at Hampton we hope in a forward direction & at least get closer to the other little fords . I was told not to take this class seriously!!!!!! lol we need to find a lot of time to even consider being serious, it sure is no ball of fire but its going to be fun it will get better.......roll on manfield that will be a great weekend , humble pie is cool ... Thank you HMC..... Kind regards, Grant
