Got another one from My nitro tourer days

practicing with 2 days before a major local meet... snapped the conrod... over-nighted the parts... tried running the motor in during practice the next day, only to find that in the haste of trying to rebuild a motor in about 20 minutes that I had the piston in the wrong way around... finally ran the motor in during the qualifying rounds... only managed to run ONE round of qualifying at full pace... STILL managed TQ... but failed in the final because of fuel pickup problems

Nitro tourers were never as much fun for Me after that
