Sidecar Racing

hope team beemer gonna bring lots of tools fr wangas! did it run mint for rest of day? making full power now?

just had my finger check up and stitches out. looks good. cant move it and hands pretty weak but wangas shud b sweet.

downside - watched a sheep/stock truck crush/run over a cyclist right outside hospital, poor fella didnt make it passed away where he lay about 2 meter from hospital entrance. Was a sombre start to the day.

I feel bad for the peddlers family. But I fuckin hate the way most cyclists treat the roads.

i do loathe packs of road cyclists in lycra having a yarn 3 a breast but this fella looked like a middleaged to older aged chap just trying to get to work.

let it be noted he had hi viz on.. and looked like the real safe/cautious type.. pants tucked into sock...fat lot of good that did fr him eh

police stated they think parked car opened door, cyclist swerved to avoid hitting it or hit it and then went under truck.. nothing leftbof his helmet etc.

poor fella

Na, but the hidden dry nitrous kit worked a treat, I think thats what stripped the ring gear

maybe your free entry refund will be part coin and part your shout?

P.s, and the Lawrences losing their guard by smashing into us on the same day was a genuine racing incident & not caused by stupidity on the part of either party, it was a combination of close racing & a mechanical failure on one of the machines that caused it to suddenly lose forward motion.

Two things here
(1) Lawrances is spelt as I just did
(2) this incident wasn't a 'genuine racing incident' Your team should have pulled out of that race rather than endanger yourselves and fellow competitors.
If the marshalls were doing there job properly that weekend your team should've been black flagged as the issue that caused this coming together was a worsening mechanical fault, the video clearly shows this.

I had a reminder about nats, entries for Round 1 close end of this month. If we don't have minimum 10 entered I believe we are dropped.
Apparently a few don't want us racing and rather we were dropped, and if its 2 years in a row then.. we probably won't have the chance 2014..

I'll get my entry in asap, broke atm waiting for first paycheck from new job - will be a squeeze to get it done before end of nov - but if 10 of the rest of yas can, chooice!!

I've asked about this. Go forth and prosper. If you want a right side pasenger, it's allowed.

Have a look at the HAMB (mainly old school hot-rods) site and look at post #55996 on the 'Vintage shots of days gone by' thread for some impressive 'right-side' sidecars.

Nah, to inept to do that sort of shit and 'copy'n'paste' didn't work.

So Google HAMB (Hokey Arsed Message Board), go to 'Vintage shots from days gone by!'

And page 2801 will get you there...
