I have completed a Ford Escort Mk1(first CAMS log booked 1983) & have a COD & race the old girl at State Champs & historic Race events in Queensland.
Anybody else building one?
Mark Trenoweth has restore the Uniparts V12 Jag & does the same.
Fred Sayers has restored his X-Flow Mini and does the same also.
We need more cars to make a grid of our own.
In Qld we currently race with the GroupA & C cars in historic events.
Contact back if you are getting one ready.

Gary, this is great! Lets keep this thread going. Do you have photos of your Escort? There are a few members on here with sports sedans that are being restored. Graham Booth is nearing the completion of the Jim Richards Falcon hardtop, and Rowan Harman (Aussiemonza) has a Chevy Monza.Originally Posted by Gary Goulding
Also, another member on here (Steve Rooke) has the old Ray Molley Mini which appears in this clip: http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...-Sports-Sedans

more pics of the beast
Hey Gary very nice we could run together however your car looks a bit more advanced than mine as mine ran from 75 to 82
will work on some pics of existing cars sayers mini ,trenoweth Jag may have different wing
rookes mini
It would be great race others. Up here in Qld we run with the Group A & Group c Touring cars at one event in the year. Thats why i race in the state champs with the 3D cars. I am currently coming 4th in he state champs points due to circumstances with the more powerful cars reliability.
What would we run in VIC at the Phillip Island event. Would we get a start???
Good question, touring cars appear to run full grids so there may be resistance to lighter faster unusual cars,Im no expert but will go to the VHRR lunch next Wednesday and do some research,I could have run regularity,but that also runs full fields we just need a couple of runs to gather some interest and momentum,for sure these cars would be attractive to a lot of people as its a diverse bunch what other cars do you know of Gary ?
dick ward abarth
another Qld car ?
