Fabulous little car. 10,500 RPM might be achievable in a BDG but a BDA would have lunched itself good n proper. LOL

Nice car.
Like the double side bars. 10.5 K rpm for sustained speed is very respectable. |

Theres some pretty serious dirt and tarmac Escorts in the UK, a fair few have been built using our dry climate shells, ever wondered where all the Escorts went?
The Millington engines are putting out serious power, large capacity, alloy, Cosworth based and tweaked for natural aspiration. A couple of BDA's at full song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3l9WHiGVjY

Years ago, when I was a Speedway Scruitineer, one guy in the club could wind his past 11000 rpm. Screemin' little bugger. He had an electrical problem one night..number one conrod knocked the alternator off.
