Hi All - sorry mods if I've posted this in the wrong place
My friend and I have decided we want to go sidecar racing...he be the rider and me be the swinger. In saying that we have no idea where to start actually finding a race worthy sidecar. Any ideas????

Adam Unsworth from Wanganui has his Honda rig for sale. It is a good one with huge amounts of spares

I went to see the buckets race at Kaitoke yesterday. Damn fine spectacle. I recommend all other bikers support these guys (turn up - it's free and buy some food - there's a good biker).
Anyway... Back to the relevance of the OP's question. Kaitoke is a karting track for those who've never been. A small track suitable for both karts and buckets... but that's not important right now.
What is important, is a sidecar came out, by itself (with rider and swinger of course) and practised on the track over lunch.
Maybe you have a bucket / small / kart friendly track up there and can work in some practice?
In the old days, I used to take my kart down to supermarket carparks and lay out old pieces of carpet for apexes etc.... 7x7 shopping killed that. I was aspiring to be the National Midget champion. Problem was I was fat, it made the kart slow and I had a handicap at the start of each race.
May you swing freely and safely.
Double shot!!
There is a surprisingly large amount of bike-related motorsport with free entry. Even just a wander around during a trackday is quite interesting. The minimoto lads put on an interesting day too.
