Sidecar Racing

[Shaun Harris]

That simply can't be right Shaun.
If it is even slightly wanked out, then it'll put out more than that.
The dyno wasn't calibrated correctly.

One thing, if it was their best engine, then why was it 1 second slower than last years times??


I cannot speak for them nor the Dyno mate. I just know what I saw on the Dyno sheet print out, and know of other bikes that have been on same Dyno, and the figures they put out fit in with 2 bikes in Auckland built by the same man, yet on diff Dyno's with very very similar numbers. What I can say about the time diff is, Adam was very hard on himself on Sunday night about his riding effort, maybe that was why the time diff.

[Grumph]

...and yet I've heard Mike Tosskings say 'shit' on Seven Sharp, and also 'dickhead'....

Go figure....

I bet the person walking around the pits would have heard alot worse words than 'shit'..... just saying.......

Interesting - not being on facebook I don't hear a lot of this shit. I had no idea you'd been complained about. Maybe it was the "knocking on his back door like a gay Mormon" line i heard...and enjoyed.
I would assume that if a complaint was made the club would have had no option but to mention it to you.
At least you haven't had what happened to your commentary mate Blunder happen to you...I was at a meeting there where he was shut down for being over the circuit noise levels. Farcical. Later that day the local who'd complained took off in his aircraft - so the organising club complained about that noise level too.
Did the complainer write to wanganui organisers ? If so why the fuck do that ? PM me who he was please Spyda.

[nodrog]

as mentioned, i have no problem with their beliefs, although to test them out we will see what actions they take after this was on a sidecar at manfeild all weekend, and is entered for wanganui.
if they don't lodge a complaint then they have me in their sights and me alone.

I had my three sponsors omitted from the programme, without even a courtesy call or explanation.

Atorn, Backdoor, Hertz are all legitimate companies which pay For advertising.

yes that's fair, and i would expect to hear it, as i would if there was a compliment paid.

it was one of the workers at the cemetery circuit, who mentioned it to me, i explained that as it was an in house meeting with no streaming or recording, and being a classic meeting where the people who hire me, yes pay me something, want commentary and entertainment so i didn't think the word shit was out of line.
he wasn't happy with my answer so run to mummy
what fucks me off is by the time it got to me it was 'a written complaint'.
besides greg it was a jehovahs witness, not a mormon....

i liked the local Dago Racing setup - Dago racing, then Dago drinking. In the 60's and 70's there were some crackers in the car world. MNZ would probably fine you for putting some of them on an entry form now.

[old rig]

163 is FACT dude, They had it Dyno tuned for the first time ever last Tuesday.
Maybe they should look at who built the motor
Putting bits in a motor doesn't make it a hot rod motor it all has to work together to create the best hp

[Kickaha]

Adam reckons it only puts out 163 at the tread. I find it hard to believe that's their best race motor, or he was telling me porkies.

Or maybe that's about right

Dunno about the Hondas but the stock GSXR1000 K4 is about 143-145 rwhp (3 different stock motors), with Yoshi cams, pistons, thinner head gasket, balance shaft removed and Kibblewhite valve gear it was 163-165 (2 different modified motors)

I know of a modified K6 with 175rwhp and that cost $1000 for each extra Hp over the modified K4

HP figures don't mean shit anyway, it's all about who is riding the bike as proven by Alex with some of his laps with stock motors

He doesn't need to. Still won by 3 sec even with a 20 second penalty.

[wildman]

Shit....."SHIT" was all he said. FFS some people need to get over themselves. Looks like the management at Wanganui :tugger:have taken the letter from the complainer:girlfight: seriously though and the best/funniest/most knowledgeable commentator we've had in years is tossing in the towel. Don't give up Spyda, there's heaps of people who love what you do....err I mean the commentating, not all that other shit......

I totally agree, even though i haven't met you in person Spyda i've enjoyed your commentaries and the wealth of knowledge you have and can't believe that anyone would be offended by the word Shit, we don't live in the 1920s anymore. Shit i'm a God Botherer and teach sunday school now and then at my church, i've even trained sunday school teachers and i hear worse language in church from them. Keep doing what you obviously have a passion for Spyda, rant over back to making a mufler for Agip, something more than just a stainless cylinder with a bit of tube floating round inside it. No wonder it was so F****N LOUD

[sidecar bob]

I was rather surprised that the complainant is a trustworthy friendly, kind & generous chap, who's number is in my phone, that has been very helpful to us.
To be honest, I didn't see that coming from him.

Talked to him back in the day. They were introducing Formula Extreme in the US and had suffered several fuel fires with Methanol. I was pushing a remit here for compulsory 5% Tolulene to make any flame visible. He was very interested and went back hoping to do something similar.

His last comment to me

" At 68, I'm still riding. Been on TZ250's again since 1992. Did take 18 months off after I died at Laguna in 2001.

After 52 seasons, I think I should hang up the leathers, but I'm to stupid to do anything else." LOL, I am in the same boat as him I guess, But at 52 years old:killingme

i have no problem with someone actually having the conviction of their beleifs to mention it, it's where it escalated too that gets under my foreskin; just interested that i can't recall anytime in the last 23 or so year i have done some form of commentating at wanganui that person coming and saying good work or something either.

I am a bit surprised that. Most people on here and in the racing scene know I am a JW but I never admonish anyone for their language. I may not enjoy the sound of expletives but I judge a person on their heart.

I have great respect for many people who swear like troupers because of the kind of person they are. In fact, in the years I have been involved in the racing scene it's rare to find anyone who doesn't swear. I have always enjoyed Spyda's commentaries and often told him so.

It's not my place to impose my personal standards on others. However it is a free country and if someone complains about public behaviour or language there are processes to go through.

I would be saddened if you gave up commentating Spyda

[scrivy]

Maybe the signs at track entry should read: "Motor racing is dangerous, and obscene commentary is provided for your entertainment. Enter at your own risk."

A massive study involving 49 people in one experimental question.

Now if it was 500 people from all age groups and educational backgrounds it may have some relevancy, but it's more a clutching at straws tiddler than anything worth noting. :lol:

Unfortunately those 49 don't actually prove anything at all.

At risk of being told off for being off topic I recommend watching the movie "The Privileged Planet " No it's not a JW video but has a very interesting comment afterwards by world renowned evolutionary scientist Robert Jastrow. Children especially love the graphics as they do a pull-back through space from the Earth. Anyone interested in the science of the Universe will like it.

Back on topic, the side cars are proving to be a highlight this year!

He is doing ok & while clearly in quite a bit of discomfort, he has a fantastic attitude & him & his dad Pete are extremely grateful for all the well wishers & support & the fantastic public healthcare this country provides, which they say is equal to private in the UK.

what about the bike?

[sidecar bob]

what about the bike?

I haven't seen it, im sure its damaged but cant say what the extent is.

[sidecar bob]

I understand a few people don't know what the go is with Mark, (cheers grumph)
Below is Tim's press release so we're all on the same page.


Well after a great first 2 weeks here in NZ.. It's unfortunately taken a turn for the worse.. When on Monday evening whilst out on a ride with Mark Wilkes on road bikes, he unfortunately was involved in an accident and has been hospitalised since..
He has multiple fractures to his neck and his left femur. But has no loss of feeling at all..
On Tuesday his femur was pinned and the doctors are very happy with the result.
And has just returned from his neck operation today, he has 6 broken vertebra which two have had to be fused.. But the docs are again very happy with the outcome.
He now has a longer stay here and a long road to recovery.
He has been unbelievably strong and in good spirits all week
I will update u all tomorrow when he's awake from the op..

[nodrog]

what about the bike?

it had to be put down.

[merv]

Is anyone going to elaborate on this "accident"? Were there any cagers to blame for example?

it didn't involve any other vehicles. And as Mark was behind the other rider, and bumped his head and cant remember shit, we will never know.

but we could all invent a cool story.

mine is - he forgot he wasn't swinging and was waiting for Tim to brake.

Does he ride a solo the same as he tried to ride a sidecar?

[sidecar bob]

Does he ride a solo the same as he tried to ride a sidecar?

It's not as stupid as it sounds.
After many years swinging for scrivy, I thought I'd get a classic solo to fill in the day at the track.
On my first ever flying lap of Manfield (I did race solos there in the '80's) I came towards turn one & started panicking about how late we were braking. Suddenly I realised it was my job today.
It sounds retarded, but it was a very real thing.

[nodrog]

Fell off on his own Nivea cream ?

maybe he didn't wash his hands after applying and slipped off the bars?

I did mention that to him and he was shocked, shocked at the fact it had taken this long for somebody to start taking the piss.

I reckon the chassis was built for something narrower in the engine bay. Looks like the LHS of what was a full cradle has been cut out.
And the arm pivots on heim joints ? Badly supported heim joints.....

My god, looking at that thing makes my eyes hurt. How much sidecar wheel lead has that thing got? How much front wheel offset? Always amazes me how people can use soooo many pieces of tubing to make a chassis.....and then put most of them in the wrong places. As for the 'primary chain', at least it's a bit longer than another I've seen lately but...but.....nuf said. As for the heim joints :weird: Agree with you Grumph and Bob....POS:facepalm:

Great to see on face tube that Mark is coming along so well.

The only thing you can do with that is to put knobblies on it, race it up and down the beach for a while, then go straight out into the ocean with it. Then use it as a boat anchor. Its got enough rust on it now to not notice any more.....:no::no:

I was busy looking in the camera and my son in law described it as the sidecar had slid a bit and the swinger then got flicked off. Then I saw the sidecar go up the kerb and hit the pole just so hard I really thought the rider had hit the pole hard too as he was ejected forward. I was pleased to see the rider get up okay and walk to the ambulance. I only carry my little Sony pocket camera these days so don't get the flashest of photos.

Interesting back story to this outfit. I found out yesterday that it once had two CR500 engines in it, but couldn't usually finish a race due to all the parts vibrating off it.

there are more marshalls by the exit on the other side, it's blindingly fast coming in there and the flag needs to be on the inside, odd thing is that for the first lap every flag marshall point holds out a yellow so the riders know where they are, did anyone think this wasn't the right place and go to the riders rep to get it sorted, nah thought not.

While you do make a valid point, because it's a street circuit there are problems changing anything...
Before the circuit plan is approved, it's scrutinised by every person and group who think they have a say. Anyone who wants to change something on the day is likely to face so much flak - and possible legal action - if something goes wrong as a consequence of a change that to all intents no change is possible.
Minor things like realigning a barrier will get away with no probs but moving a marshalls post won't/can't happen on the day.

The time to work for a move - or any other solution like raising the post height or cutting back greenery - is now. Before next year's approval is asked for.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, (which I usually am) but aren't flaggies supposed to be able to clearly see past/exit a corner so that they can warn racers of an incident before they arrive at the event????

Stands to reason dunnit??

Hey, at least they weren't stoned on that corner there this year...........:msn-wink:

You are write in my opinion, and looking at where the 2 appeared from and the way they acted, that side car crash was NOT dealt with well at all! It had the potentuall for a major problem. ALSO, it is about time they stopped that bullshit ride around lap, it is a waste of fukin pracice time, and it is ILLEGAL to not wear a helmet on a public road!!!!! which it is still.

Don't start being a homo Again, the crowd love to see a parade lap.

fuk off ya dick head, you need to think more before replying dude.

You didn't do the parade lap?

[Shaun Harris]

NO! The course is still a public road, so if an incident happens involving an injury, the POLICE are Required to investigate just like a std road accident. So the rider with no helmet on stands to get nailed, and the organiser also for promoting and allowing it to happen. It is just dumb now and a time waster for people that want to go racing seriously

fuck off, it's dead time as they're feeding the workers at the same time.

No wankstain, I think its you who needs to think before posting.

its also illegal on a public road to-

not stop at a stop sign,
cross railway lines without looking,
exceed the posted speed limit,
ride on the wrong side of the road,

But as you may have missed, the road had a barrier around it, closing it off from the public.

So for an allocated time the road was not a public road, it was a closed circuit.

Dude, once again you are posting shit you know nothing about! and that is Fact mate, do some research and kiss my ass to apolligise when we see each other next

[sidecar bob]

We also had wheelstands, sustained loss of traction, bald tyres, no rego or wof, excessive noise, racing.
There were crashes & the police didn't investigate, but the several times I have witnessed fatal accidents at closed circuits the police investigated, so I don't think there's any difference there.
It's referred to as a 1S or sudden death, & when there is a 1S, wether it's in your kitchen, or at Manfield, the police must attend.

considering I work for Worksafe NZ, and haven't smashed my fuckin brain in at the TT, I think I will take my chances.

In the first session he made his first pass before he even turned left onto the circuit

Only because the drug kingpin came around looking for Gordie and she stood up to the guy.....

Damn phone....

He didn't want you showing him up.

The warm up lap is for warming up, not sitting behind someone who doesn't understand that. I overtook on the out lap in three out of four sessions.

Should have been covered at riders briefing - "normal" practise to my knowledge is that passing is permitted if done carefully. Warm up lap is actually supposed to be to look at the circuit for any changes/hazards. Drag your brakes if you want to warm things up.


If a YELLOW flag is helD out, as they were, there is NO passing dude! EVEN YOU KNOW THE DAM RULES MAN. AND MY CHOICE OF ORIGINAL WORDS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE BEST, WHAT i WAS TALKING ABOUT, WAS THE START OF PRACTICE LAPS WAS WHERE THE PASSING WAS TAKING PLACE. haha, sorry about the caps, was not yelling at ya

First lap of any practise session is supposed to be under yellow - and NO passing. After 1st lap it's supposed to have the yellow pulled in. Never heard of a session where it was under yellow right through. Again, supposed to be covered in riders briefing.

any or every? i see it's point but time is so limited at wanganui why lose a lap on the second session when there's only six laps available????

It was covered at Riders Brief, and the yellow was only out for the first lap

we can debate on here all day about it dude, but it was covered at riders brief, and then ignored by many!

fixed that for ya

haha. If every one stood close enough, there is no problem. I am as deaf as fuk, yet here all they say there, as I get close to here what we need to here
Riders brief is not the problem, the problem is the riders them selves as per usual. Do nothing, and then winge about it later, same way it has been here since I first started in 1987

[Drew]

I don't pass anyone gridded higher than us, or when someone is giving it a nudge at all. Just those who roll around enjoying the scenery.

If anyone is bothered by that, the option to protest is there to them.

Going into turn one on stone cold tyres/brakes is a greater hazard to everyone.

Every - at a street circuit the surface and surroundings change every time out. That lap is to look at it and see/remember what's different.

When i did CoC at wyndham i actually gave one group 2 laps warmup - method in my madness, there'd been an oil spill and the extra lap helped disperse the cement dust...and brought home to them exactly where the oil was.

Then of course every group wanted the extra lap....

Ya don't have to go full race pace to produce heat, but ya do have to go fast enough to deflect the tyres and need to use the brakes.

It's dangerous to do otherwise.

It's even more dangerous when a 'backmarker' goes out first and weaves left and right at a slow speed to try and warm up their tyres.....
Forgetting about the people behind trying for some 'heat'....
