How it all started

For many years I've been drooling over pictures of old Board Track Racers as well as I allways wanted an old side valve engine to fondle with. Of cause there are a couple of them that I can pay a visit to at the local MC Collection whenever I want. That's just not the same.

The other week I was going through adds on the eBay and found this restoration project. An old JAP 250cc S V engine.

It was missing a lot of expensive parts as the Carb, the Magneto and the Oil Pump but I took a gamble that at least the internals would be possible to salvage and bought it more expensive than first planned, but what the heck.

When I later was scanning the internet for a parts list I stumbled over Trevor Hall's 600cc NUT Board Track Racer. From there on it was just to hang on and "go with the flow"

Rest of the few pictures of it can be found here.

The intention is NOT to build a replica of the above pictured racer. It is going to be my personal interpretation of a Board Track Racer, that will hopefully look a bit like the NUT
