    Motorcycling Canterbury AGM tonight, at the moment proposed National dates mean three rounds in the South and 1 in the North

    The NI clubs don't seem interested in running the events, plus the uncertanty of what will happen at HD with Tony Quinns purchase, Manfeild pretty much down the toilet financially and Taupo not much better

    Fuck all that shit anyway it's TT time

    Pushing on and getting closer to the limit with each lap were Gordon Shand and Astrid Hartnell, who are getting to know the finer points each other styles having only just teamed up for the Sidecar TT.

    Gordon’s regular passenger is out following an injury and Astrid – a front running competitor in the NZ National Sidecar Championship – was only asked to step in after arriving on the Island over the weekend. Only the paperwork from New Zealand stands between Astrid and being the first female passenger from New Zealand to compete at the TT.

    From Astrid Hartnell

    Hey guys thanks for all the support with the opportunity I have been offered to ride this years TT with Carl Cox sister team, Shand racing. I have looked into all aspects of me racing, but due to my existing wrist injury I hav been advised against it, so although its an amazing opportunity ive decided to just carry on spectating. It was an awesome to even get a test ride with one of the worlds best F2 teams!!!

It's been a super-frustrating experience for the sidecars, with today's session, despite being run in near perfect conditions, having to be shortened as the light faded. Then as the night closes in on us, the terrible news comes through that the incident at Sulby claimed the life of Franck Petricola.
    Dags and Richie managed a 92mph lap which put them 39 out of 53 for the session

    good call, especially when all the other competitors had the luzury of months of getting mentally prepared and learning the track through videos etc first, whereas Astrid wouldn't really have had this opportunity.

    ...the epitome of our sport is pitting yourself against the Island and to lose that challenge in the ultimate way may seem strange to outsiders, but makes the whole thing so real, yet we carry on...RIP, Franck Petricola...the b.d ginga got away with it...cheers to that...

    Setting the pace in sidecar practice tonight was John Holden/Dan Sayle.

    The duo who have between them nine TT victories produced lap speed of 112.781 mph as they showed impressive speed on Honda powered Silicone Engineering Racing outfit.

    Second fastest was Dave Molyneux/Benjamin Binns who showed top class pace lapping at 110.441 mph in A&J Groundworks backed DMR outfit.

    Birchall brothers Ben and Tom showcased their undoubted talent by finishing third fastest following lap speed of 110.186 mph.

    Standout sidecar newcomers from TT 2014 Alan Founds/Tom Peters impressed hugely following lap speed of 107.097 mph whilst Karl Bennett/Lee Cain at 104.837 mph where also impressive.

    TT legend Roy Hanks/Kevin Perry, Gary Knight/Jason Crowe and Dwight Beare/Noel Beare all showed excellent speed as they all got their timed practice week campaign’s off to highly productive starts.

    Matt Dix/Shaun Parker 104.573, Tony Baker/Fiona Baker Milligan 103.140, John Lowther/Jake Lowther 102.635 mph all enjoyed a top night of practice.

    Multiple duo’s are capable of podium finishes in the 2015 sidecar TT races.

    Following a high class evening’s action where all set for another fantastic sidecar practice session tomorrow as all outfits continue their preparations for opening sidecar race of TT 2015 scheduled to start on Saturday.
