1320video is back at Santa Paula Raceway for Door Slammers, and they've found the fastest front-wheel drive Ford in Europe - a Transit van! The setup is a 2 liter Zetec turbo autofocus, with a big G40 turbo and methanol filter. It's already run a 9.14, and they're hoping to get an 8 second run this weekend. They've made some changes to the gearbox, and have brand new tires ready to go. With a 60 foot of 1.50, it's still pretty heavy at 1160. It's a 2001 Ford Escort, and it's a tricky class to be competitive in.

After some hard work and dedication, 1320video's Ford Escort has done it! It's run an 8 second pass, and they're celebrating with a celebratory swim. Now they're ready to take on the competition in eliminations. With two 8.9s under their belt, they're confident they can take it all the way. They're up against a 12 second car in the first round, so they'll have to be on their A-game.
