First big road race for Nicholas in the MkII brought 2 trophies	This was the kind of race course an aggressive drive could make up for a lack of horsepower	DN wearing a sweater passes a stop sign and spectators.  Are they waiting to cross the street?	A big thrill was Nicholas' battle with the experienced and fast Ken Williamson.  Nicholas beat him.	Big push onto the runways as young Nicholas gets ready to pass Fred Reynolds
BARC's vees sleep under Yenko's trailer while the Nicholas MGA sits and guards	Willis Weldon's FP Lotus 7 was no match for the MG's and TR's.	Alan Friedland still has the BMW rondel on his helmet as he take the new Elva 7 to victory	Harry Reynolds Torking Dog Lotus 11 wins GM	1965 and Nicholas grabs a trophy and the race queen.  Does she still remember that kiss?
