Alright, so who said an Escort GT isnt a WRC car. And no those wheels werent painted in the Meijer parking lot with gold spray paint.








Notice the endo action!




Uh oh. This rock spells bad news.




The aftermath.
Bent frame support and the radiator is busted. Dont worry, the team will get this thing fixed and back on the track in no time.



New radiator is installed and its back to off roading and 7,500 2nd gear clutch dumps through mud holes. Actually, the hood doesnt even close anymore. Just the hood release clicks hold it in place. Thats okay, who needs a hood latch. I say pitch it. This is a WRC car. We need all the weight reduction we can get!


Man, I really need to move back to Louisville and see this stuff first hand.

should build it a crappy cage, take out the interior, and put in a good seat with supports, then just go nuts.
