I went to York raceway Saturday night,set off at 8pm,35 minutes later,sat on a roundabout with a broken U/J on the motorhome,with trailer & superbird.
Called my old fella,he came out,I pulled off propshaft,left the wife in motorhome whilst I returned home to try fix prop.
Didnt have a U/J,so called a mate,unbelievably,he had one.
Returned to motorhome,refit prop,on my way again,arrived at midnight

Second run,nice wheelie,no drama,9.49 into a head wind,called it a day.
