A laugh and a cry in 2012
Highs: Five years restoration on the NSU finished (ish). Nsu turning its first racing wheel on track since 1977, My first Car race at Oulton Park Gold cup, Nsu and I finishing our first race after all the events leading up to the race.
Lows: 15 mins of running the NSU engine in the bottom end failed, delirious slurred speech and falling asleep on the kitchen work top after 56 hours straight without sleep preparing the NSU days before oulton Gold cup. warm up last at oulton the realisation Im only running on 3 cylinders due to misfire, shearing the alternator drive pulley half way through the race, Last 4 mins of the race at Oulton when the bottom end started to 'KNOCK!'
Brings an smile and i tear just writing about it......
