This must surely be the Ride, and quite possibly be the Save of the Day! NSA rider John Young stands his vintage 500cc Triumph Jap on its back wheel narrowly missing the christmas tree.

The car sounds really strong and the last run I see on Saturday looked quick but I didn't see the time.

I've just found out that he was trying out a new sequential gearbox in the car so was testing launching from 1st,2nd and 3rd gears, I think he went into the high 12s in the end Nick.

Nick you got me thinking that we see the car out so much that we take it for granted really.
I think we neglect the fact that this car and the ex Malibu Express rail are the only 2 cars from the early days that's still running today.
Of course it's just as important as any other piece of history we have left and
as it's older Brother gets all the attention I thought I would post some extra pictures of the old girl :D
