I would like to get sidecars running in the bucket scene down here. I hope this would help feed the full size chair class, and grow the sport.

There's loads of enthusiasm at the moment, so to capatalise on that I'd like to build one or two.

I know of one sitting in a yard in upper hutt, who else has one and would be keen to get out there?

Biggest stumbling block is the lack of time in the race schedule at Kart meetings.
Plus they would have to be happy with us running them on their track.

I'm probably going to build one, embryonic plan would be to have a team run it in Auckland and maintain it and bring it down for NI rounds, unless something was going down here...

Yeah, I guess the time constraints are an issue at the kart track. Bound to be able to get them out there from time to time though.

Really a non starter as we've kinda lost the bike only days due to track protection issues. No spare time in schedule with 2 bike classes currently.

Bike only days aren't lost. They just need someone with time and the know how to run them.


If it ain't smokin' - it's broken.

Hey go for it Drew, i'm sure if you get it up and running then some of the Auckland guys could be persuaded to come down now and then. I can feel a team challenge coming on:corn::corn:
