I'd have been better coming to this rather than going to Anglesey - mate went out in qualy and after 5 laps reported that the newly refurbished clutch was slipping - I went out and got 2.5 laps before it expired completely in a cloud of evil-smelling smoke. Is less than 20 miles a record for destroying a clutch?
Glad it all went well, Iain |

I had a halfshaft break off the start line at Oulton Park after I'd put it on the front row. It was sods law that it didn't fail in qualification !!! It didn't help that Oulton is one of the furthest tracks from my home that we were using for the series at the time

We have gone off topic but it’s fun hearing all these tales of wow. In 1994 FF2000 pre 80 class me and another competitor had some very fearless racing all through the year . There was nothing in it going to last race at Mallory . I sat there in collecting area very pumped up when his mechanic came over and said “well done champ “,Looking up at him confused he said “ their radiator had just exploded . As the old saying goes . I did not want to win like that but I sure was happy .
