Gapping EVERYONE on the drag strip in my ST170 Mk1 Escort! 💪 *COSSIE KILLER* 😃

[@jacobsaid6263]

Thanks again for having us on the stand! What an awesome day it turned out to be. Also, congrats on the 13.54. 🔥🔥👌

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for coming mate! 👍

[@doubledlovefords4903]

Cheers for such a good day next time I’ll have my focus st mk2 done maybe I’ll be sending my down the strip

[@marcushayesford]

Defo gotta run it down the strip when it’s ready mate. 👍

[@terry_h_n1893]

Congratulations on the 13.54 she held her ground. Always wanted to run my car down the strip

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍

[@benburrows6896]

Thanks for having me and my dad on the stand we had lots of fun. Time to see what wrong with my car

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks to you both for joining us mate! 👍

[@Tassiephotographer]

That’s a little rocket ship down the quarter mile, and it sounds so sweet. I had a 2 litre twin 45 Weber powered Mk2 back in the 90’s they used to do similar times.

[@AdeyThatCapriGuy]

Thanks for having me and the mrs on the stand, had an amazing day! Gutted you missed waving your camera over my capri, i was down the pits fixing my gear lever, after it came out going down the strip 😅 My best time after was 17.2, Esther's a rocket ship! 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Glad you guys had a great day! 👍 Sorry I missed your Capri! 🙁

[@PROlegend-pb6vm]

It was an absolute pleasure being on the club stand, the show overall was amazing! The wheels Felicia is running are Fox Racing EVO 3's, which are similar to the Zetec S wheels only bigger and wider 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks good bringing Felicia to join us. 👍 . . . Oh and I think when I dropped your MH air freshener through your window it went between the front seats. 👍

[@thughes52]

Esther did great 13:54 really good respectable ,cool cars and love Santa pod ⭐💯👍

[@ianwiggins5499]

You can’t beat Santa pod fever I don’t get enough of it these days😅😅😅

[@marcushayesford]

Pod fever for the win! 👍

[@martinbennett9028]

Top result on the 13.5 👍. Keep the videos coming.

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍

[@davidgreen7841]

Marcus, Absolutely chuffed for you to see you produce that time at the pod pal. Excellent result and I think there is more to come. Well done again. Dave Green

[@limjamrace]

Great to see you in proper competition use instead of all that public road stuff.

[@marcushayesford]

Hardly proper competition mate. Just a bit of a laugh really. We'll be back in 'Mexico' soon enough! 😃

[@c111prs]

Mk2 van looks so cool

[@marcushayesford]

Totally agree mate! 👍 What a cool vehicle for a 17 year old new driver!

[@davidsclassicfords7094]

Thank you mate not bad for a daily driver

[@davidsclassicfords7094]

Good to catch up as always and van made it with nothing to serious damaged stand was a great turnout hopefully I’ll have a bit more power for the strip next time

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for joining us on the stand mate! 👍 Glad you'r engine block survived!! 😃 . . . Try to get back down the strip with the same setup and experiment with tyre pressures, different amounts of aggression on the launch etc. If you can improve your launch etc BEFORE just adding power it will make you a better drag racer in the long term.

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

@ 17:07 This put a smile on my dial more than any other on your stand. Amazing.

[@marcushayesford]

That Anglia is awesome!! 😍

[@joshuamikkelsen5239]

I'm impressed. Power to weight must be spot on . Carbon fibre for the win

[@marcushayesford]

Power to weight ratio is the key! 👍 Time for a carbon roof and doors now I reckon! 😃

[@clivebannister7016]

Well done on providing a great day for all that took part. Great job Marcus and Kat

Thanks mate! 👍

[@icanseeyouallfromuphere]

Not bad, it's a reliable car as a ST, otherwise you could turbo it and a retune could get 11s no doubt.... great video, great crowd, great stand, sorry I wasn't there !

One day I need a turbo in my life! 😃

Awesome to c her running hard dw the strip m8....goes real well aye....no trailer queen....hehe... Cary Nz

[@marcushayesford]

She goes quite well mate! 😃

[@bobuncle8704]

Awesome video. So many cool cars. You must have had one of the biggest stands. You’ve got Esther dialed in, it looks like. I’d do some heads up against you, with my 2004 Honda Goldwing GL1800 motorcycle. We do almost identical times. We’d just be seeing who cut the best light. I usually run high mid 13’s at right around 100 mph.

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍 'Esther' has never raced a motorbike before! 😃

[@Ken_in_the_highlands]

Nice runs down the strip. One thing, I was surprised that they don’t make you wear a helmet.

[@marcushayesford]

If your car does more than 110mph on the strip they make you wear a helmet mate. 👍

[@maxeluy]

The legend says that Marcus is still running at Santa pod

[@marcushayesford]

haha!! 😃 Its very addictive!

[@JB-np4lp]

Awesome footage. Recommend you pick-up a Polarising filter for your camera phone, to eliminate glass reflections for clear interior footage. 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for the recommendation! 👍

[@RickiGray]

Good runs down the strip m8, my set up will be pretty much the same so fingers crossed will hit below 14’s

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍 Defo get yours down the strip when you get a chance.

[@RickiGray]

@@marcushayesford next year m8 car will be ready fingers crossed

[@andybrooks7908]

Come on Marcus it ain't no cossie killer

[@2tone2thebone.]

Your launches are on point Marcus ...you could be mistaken as Fraudster ( if you squint !)😉

[@marcushayesford]

Would be funny to race against 'Fraudster' to see how slow 'Esther' really is! 😃

[@DubSe7en]

Certainly hooks well! Good trap speed too. How are you doing the burnout, left foot brake or line lock?

[@marcushayesford]

Yeh it felt like it was bogging all day mate. Im so paranoid about spinning off the launch. I don't have a line lock. I use my right foot on the brake and the throttle, and I do my burnout in 2nd gear. 👍

[@djgoode]

@@marcushayesford rear brakes are cheap enough lol.

[@DubSe7en]

Does the me221 have a launch control? Guessing you wind the bias off the rear too? Be good see a quick vid on the burnout technique, I assume it's like a heel/toe thing you're doing. I've always done left foot brake but it means the car lurches forward a bit during the transition, where yours stayed put. Good work, I only managed a 12.2 in my c63, but I didn't burnout as my tyres were already borderline lol, so my 60ft was terrible, but had the power to make it up in the back half.

[@marcushayesford]

The ME221 does have launch control but I never get round to setting it up. The left foot brake is better for controlling rolling burnouts etc BUT I don't like the lurching forward. Also when you need to STOP the burnout theres a risk of it lurching forward again. I don't touch the bias. The front brakes always bite first so if you press the pedal the perfect amount, the rear brakes won't prevent the rear wheels spinning. Im sure they will be touching slightly but its about finding the right balance with trial and error. Those C63s are awesome cars! 👍

[@Absolutenutter68]

😆😆👍👍

[@marcushayesford]

[@StephenParkes-e9y]

13.54 is good, a cossie is quicker

[@marcushayesford]

Many Cossies out there would beat my time. Many wouldn't. Depends on the spec I suppose. The Cossie powered Cortina couldn't beat me on the day. The main thing is we all had a laugh going down the strip. 💪

[@StephenParkes-e9y]

@@marcushayesford the fun is what it’s all about

[@traceypotts9425]

Its got to be one of the slowest mk1 out there

[@marcushayesford]

Probably the very slowest, but it's mine and I'm happy with it so that's all that matters really. 👍

[@lukeframpton3671]

I reckon id do them on my e scooter 😂😂

[@marcushayesford]

Was your e scooter built by an idiot??? My car was! 😃

[@djgoode]

@@marcushayesford far from it, the first sign of an idiot is not listening to others advice, you do that and decide what parts apply. Plus ford don’t make e-scooters so wouldn’t be allowed on the day or I’d of brought the other car 😂😂 Fantastic day btw and nice chatting.

[@lukeframpton3671]

Listen mucker you ain't done bad and you got it on the track I guess you heard about the little kid's killed on the a61 because of two clowns on a motorbike from what I here I have adhd and used to drive around like a complete knob in alll the wrong places do the right thing do it on the track or late at night when the roads are dead
