It was either that or "I've been told it will blow up if you set foot in our garage, even if it isn't running at the time" but I decided to be kind.

You could've said your bitch of a wife will only let you or Craig ride Max.
I'm not sure which bike I'll be riding that weekend, and Craig will possibly only get a day pass, (dunno, Henk hasn't told me) but I know we'll sort it out.
Yay, another team for the partners race. Must be about 8 teams now, possibly 10, too high for me to count anyway.

I was working on the theory that Str8 would do the 40 lapper on my bike, Craig and Malc do the two hour on his and we make up the partners race as we go along.
I guess this is a good time for me to ask you guys what races you plan on entering so we can organise things accordingly.
Craig will probably (90%) only do Sunday but we have enough bikes to go round no matter how it pans out. If you guys want to do the two hour together I can get him another partner and we can do the partners race on either Michelle's 100 or 150.
The only thing we are likely to run out of is sidecars, if the endurance race happens on Saturday. But I suspect that if we can get enough crews we could run heats and share rigs if enough people put their hands up.

I will bring my gear but I may not be up to riding. Between my tail bone and other health issues at the moment it may just not work for me......

**Henk** · 21st September 2012, 07:51

In that case we'll get you driving the sidecar, it's a kneeler so no weight on the tailbone.

**crazy man** · 21st September 2012, 08:00

how meany laps will the sidcars do? l not so keen with 2 hours on a bucket . l'm lucky to last 10 laps

Until I fall off, lol!

But hey, I do intend to at least give the racing a go to see if it works! I am really keen on giving swinging on the chair a go too but that will have to wait until the tail bone is fixed. I don't want to break it again in a hurry - it's been long over a year and still giving me grief.

Also I may need sessions on my own as to not disturb the rest of the riders with too many red flags.....

I'm not worried, glad to race whatever I can.
