Sidecar Racing

[Drew]

What the fuck is it with sidecar racers and electricity? You cunts do know you cant just hold the smoke in with cable ties?

Your opinion isn't valid, till you get a chair that's not coal/steam powered!

Maybe everybody needs to get something more inline with their skill set then.

It would be fucken choice to see Warwick out there on a Lego LCR!!!

Strangely enough yesterday at Ruapuna we had an electrical problem with our kill switch killing shit when it shouldn't

That grandstand looks like Puke on a club day....

Out of interest do you guys have a regular crowd of chairs up in Dorkland that race the club scene.
Seems like a good regular lot of 5 or 6 in the Souf but stuff all this far north??

Decided to sell my open trailer, don't need it with the new van. It's got a flat floor with 10inch mini wheels underneath.
Dimensions are 2450 long, 1910 wide, with 550 high sides.
A short bike or classic will fit on backwards with the fairing on easily.
Pm me if interested & we can work out a price.

there are no club rounds for modern sidecars in the north island, just the nationals and events such as tri series, barry sheene, and paeroa.

classics is where its at!

Nah, notherners should take up the offers of free storeage down here and enjoy our club scene some time

There are rumours of a sidecar street race down here.. classics at first but if thats a success I'm sure they could be persuaded to let us moderns join in too..

Very keen on a South Island sidecar street race to attend..

This engine excites me a little, I want to see a real one..

I thought with the pistons moving up and down as well as cycling around/rotating there would be a bit of energy loss.. but they are claiming its as good or better than a conventional piston unit.

You've got secure parking for the 'dungeon'? Sign me up mother fucker.

I hear that the classic chairs are to be at Wyndham...the only way to fit in another class there will be to reduce the number of rounds run plus space in the pits is limited.....not an easy addition.

i'm not quite sure what i'm letting myself in for Drew but I'm about 1/2 hour west of Ruapuna and have plenty of secure outdoor parking. I assume it would just add to the number of items I have to mow around now....Don't mind the dogs pissing on it do you ?

Secure in the South is just parked on the street

30/8/14 is the next club round at Ruapuna so plenty of time to prepare

It doesn't get as dark down there as it does up north.

The 'dungeon' is a 6 tonne truck. You could mow under it.

We're not looking at leaving it down south till next year at the earliest. To tell the truth, six months off a year is half the reason that chairs are so affordable for us. Al's work shuts down for over a month at Christmas, so leave can be an issue mid year.

Not with my ride on I couldn't mow under it....hardly notice a 6 tonner sitting here. I used to bring home bigger from one of my last jobs and you'd never know it was here. See if I'm still around by next year....
