I just find it amazing these days,that everyone is happy for the most part to get the wallet out for bolt on stuff,instead of making it themselves,and getting the personal satisfaction of making something yourself,often times by trial and error. Quite a few years ago,my former Australian race promoter friend Kym Bonython (RIP) said this: In my day the old backyard mechanic was the lifeblood of Speedway. He's disappeared now,and I can see why. I wouldnt want to race week after week knowing that I had no chance of winning."
You talkin' to me?
Wayne knows my thoughts. Let's just race...
