This legendary footage has probably been seen umpteen times but this is the kind of place where it will be appreciated and kept for posterity..
Stick with it, its a slow burn to the crescendo.
If you didn't "get" Escorts before, you will after this.

Looks like she's being restored too! Some rear end on that yolk! awesome how the escort and viva swarm on the big yank, Some effort from the BDA in the escort what a epic engine, Also and I really hate to steal your sauce, But its seems the big fella Gerry won as Crabtree jumped the start  |

They were actually at Crystal Palace yesterday and today, Mike Crabtree with the Escort ( it has had a repaint but it hasn't ever been restored..),Martin Thomas in the Camaro and Gregor Marshall in the replica Viva .. Dave Brodie appeared too. (What a character he is..!) Highlight of the event was seeing them parade the cars on the track but a little slower than in 1971..

Damn that was awesome, the sound coming from that Escort was epic, you can't beat that era of racing for the sheer diversity of the stuff racing against each other
