    The virtually finished product is as good a quality build as you will see, & is a credit to obsessive compulsive people everywhere with diabeties!!!
    Bloody well done mate!
    I think you are embelishing a bit there, all I did was put it back together with less retardation. And I really cant be fucked having to fix stupid shit at a race meeting.

    will it be at paeroa and the last 2 rounds of nats then?
    I'll post pics when you post some of the trailer incident. I'll take it to the nats, but I probably wont do pie roar. While I'm quite confident I could punt it around there, it would be self centered and foolish of me to compete in my first ever modern sidecar race at a street circuit. I dont mind hurting myself, but I have a passenger and spectators to think of. Theres not any containers at paeroa to soften the impact.

    Best lap I can find for Grant is about 1.19 although I was sure he'd gone quicker than that

    They should be there practicing now anyway? I'll text up old Grant.. he has a datalogger and onboard timing shit on his bike.

    Grant and Matt on the Windle only did one testing session this morning apparently and thats all they wanted to do. Wouldn't say about lap times..

    So they must feel ready.. or are running out of tyres!

    Pfft, sump is done, we're doing the same thing Gordy has done, for the same reason.

    Undoing retarded mods from the past, and avoiding having everyone at the track trying to fix the chair for us.

    Well it seems timing has turned to crap at levels but Grant/Matt did a 1.16 no idea how anyone else went in P1 though

    Dunno where Burts got to, maybe he went for a pie and didn't get back in time

    For your reference Noddyrog Scurvy and Sidecarblob do about 1.12 (I think)

    race1
    Pirate/Darren
    Grant/Matt
    Graeme/Colin
    Spike/Astrid
    Burt/Max

    Some of Spikes laps were as fast as anyones but those first few laps where him and Grant were held up behind Graeme really cost them

    I work the points out after 4 races at
    Spike 91
    Pirate 85
    Grant 68
