    RG400, nothing wrong with the current sidecar rules, it's just people doing usual shit and trying to fix a class that isn't broken

    it's happenings

    The scooter chair, or from now on known, as the scair has returned from the chassis fixer upper and will have an appendage implanted at the weekend. I need a volunteer to go in the chair with John driving and if they survive I will take over as victim.

    Sack up Tim, get on it and hope for the best. If you are too girly for that I'll give it a go on Saturday or during one of the practice sessions if you like.
    Stock is best

    progress

    We made some good progress on the scooter chair today, the frame is made and a ply base has been made, the wheel has had a cover made and the rig has been crash tested (snee snee) as someone took off up the drive and hit a post with the outside wheel.

    Knowing what the front end on our full size chair was made of, I predict that the steering stem is gonna twist if not snap completely.

    There's quite a lot of force going through there, that wasn't possible before the chair went on.

    I'd be getting a "ring in" to test too.

    I've already volunteered to swing on it first time out if Tim isn't man enough, after all, what could possibly go wrong.

    FGS Tim, have you not worked out that Henk's place in the team is mechanic and CTD? he's brilliant at the crash, and he's a dummy, so the role is him down to a tee. Backup CTD is Kamil.

    Might see if I can find time to come laugh on Saturday, but depends what time, as I figure I need to wash my hair or something.
