He needs all of his money, for cylinders on his chair.

[B]Friday Practice
Last time I was at this track riding was not long after it opened and although I’d been back a couple of times hadn’t been out on the track at all, I get set up in the pit shed and tempt Alex to the darkside by sharing it with us
After a txt from Matt I borrow Tim’s Ute and head off the airport
We weren’t pushing it at all and took a few sessions just to learn the track, getting a good line and run out of T1 seemed pretty important to carry the speed up through the next couple of corners and we had bad understeer out of T5 which was costing us drive and the track seemed pretty slippery
I was finding it hard to pick a good line through T4 and the middle of the chicane as it’s difficult to see through the corners but by third practice and trying some different lines we’ve slowly sped up throughout the day
Matt is moving out a bit early in the lefts and unsettling the bike under brakes but a quick chat and we have that sorted
End of practice and we did a brake fluid change and fitted a new chain (Thanks to Steve at WOT Motorcycles for the lend of the chain riveter) and gave the Sidecar a bit of a look over
Saturday
Practice first up and it’s feeling ok, still got understeer out of T5 and wriggling around under brakes but we finish the session on a best lap of 01:52.852 which places us 7th.
I notice the Barry/Robbie sidecar puffing a bit of smoke but they don’t seem to concerned when I mention it to them
A few people are commenting on Alex/Tim and them sliding around under brakes and when we check the brake temperatures find it has far to much rear bias which is then adjusted
Qualifying and we roll out onto the track and dial it up a bit harder, at the end of the session we’ve improved our times to 01:49.186 and move up a spot to grid 6
Race 1, 8 laps
I’m lighting it up too much off the start but get away ok, I can stick with the main group for a lap or two but slowly get dropped off
I see Barry/Robbie parked on the infield after T1 which indicates they’re having a bad day
Coming off the bottom corner into the big fast left up the hill I can feel the back squirming around on the verge of sliding as we head up into the right onto the old track
We’re quick enough to drop off the guys behind us but not stay with the guys in front so it’s a lonely 8 laps until the flag with a 5th place finish and a best lap of 01:47.382
In the Barry/Robbie pit ares they’re doing an engine change as the problem which saw them parked on the infield is terminal
Race 2, Sunday 8 laps
I get an Ok start and arrive at T1 in time to see Barry/Robbie and Burt/Neville have a coming together which sends Barry/Robbie off the track out into the kitty litter
Burt/Neville make a good recovery and we’re right behind them when they decide to ride straight ahead and off the track at T9
We have Bruce/Jim on the 600 all over the back of us looking for a way past but are slowly dropping them off
About a third of the way through the race and Barry/Robbie having got back on track come past trying to make their way back towards the front of the pack and at different bits of the track I can see that Burt/Neville are reeling us in
Chasing Barry/Robbie down the straight and they go straight on a bit far before turning into the chicane and I go back past them, they’re back in front again before T2 and pulling away
We spot Alex/Tim parked off the side of the track having had a conrod find its way out the front on lap 6 as they came onto the back straight while running in second
Burt/Neville come past us and we finish in 5th behind them
It’s all hands on deck in the MacDonald pits as probably 8-10 different people help Alex/Tim at one stage or another to get an engine swap done in time for the next race and it’s in and fired up with one race to spare
Race 3, Sunday 8 laps
Pirate/Darren jump the start and have to push back to their grid and then when the lights go out I get my worst start, being pretty much last off the line but get back past Bob/Jason and Bruce/Jim before T1
Barry/Robbie have made a crap start as well and are just in front of me, they quickly start pulling away and a couple of corners later go past Burt/Neville
Lap 4 and Alex/Tim blow another motor in the same spot and the race is red flagged so someone can put the fire out
Tim uses up the onboard extinguisher and then grabs one off the Marshall as the Marshall seems to be having a problem operating it
We head back to the pits until they decide it’s a restart for 4 laps
New Track Record (1:37.277) for Sidecars by Spike Taylor/ Astrid Hartnell
Restart 4 laps
We’re gridded up in finish order of the first half so I’m in a different spot on the other side of the track
Barry/Robbie are basically doing a push start due to a clutch problem which sees them last away
Our start is probably the best we’ve had for the weekend and we’re through T1 in 3rd but Barry/Robbie are already going past us before we’ve done ½ a lap
We hold Burt/Neville out for about a lap then they go through as well and start pulling a gap and we end up riding around by ourselves for a the next couple of laps until the flag
New Track Record (1:36.137) for Sidecars by Barry Smith/ Robbie Shorter
Overall a fairly good meeting for us with no real problems for us and finishing 5th overall

Have to get that from Burts son Ricky but I think they were going to send a stick to Kev @ Kiwibiker to put on their Facebook page.
I'd not take that offer of a bed at that Scrivy fullas place if I was you...he'd beat Tina and Tracey to a shafting or fisting and it wouldn't be pretty
Apparently I'VE got to shout some piss for that mistake...WASN'T ME THAT TURNED IT ROUND... but I must admit to telling Burt to get on the brakes a bit latter. But then on the Matchy there is a hell of a lot more opposite lock to be had when things go sideways. These modern things SUCK in that department!

I was trying the same thing when I went into the gravel trap, your previous incident made me think it wasn't going to end well if I tried turning in

With clear blue skies qualifying for the 2014 FIM Sidecar World Championship got under way.
First on track were the Birchall Brothers Ben and Tom, they had a trouble free session coming into pit lane to make small adjustments to their "Mitchells of Mansfield" LCR, Suzuki, and a tyre change, they were to set the second fastest time of 2'10.325.
Setting the fastest time however was Jorg Steinhausen and Axel Kolsch on their "Steinhausen Racing " LCR, BMW, they set a time of 2'08.206. They too had a trouble free session, but Jorg did say " I think a wheel balance weight on the front might be rubbing on the brake calliper, we will need to check this, but it is not a big problem."
Setting the third fastest time were Kurt Hock and Enrico Becker on their "Hock Racing" LCR, Suzuki, although third, the team were not very happy how things went, Enrico said "the lap times are slower than last year, and we did not feel happy in the way the bike was handling on track, we will get this problem sorted for tomorrow though"
2012 champion, Tim Reeves with passenger Gregory Cluze, back after taking a year away from the championship, set the fourth fastest time of 2'13.827 on their "The Relocater" LCR, Kawasaki. They encountered problems though when the drive chain failed, leaving them with only three laps compleated.
Fifth fastest time went to the Finnish pairing of Petri Makkula and Harri Asumaniemi on the "Team Makkula" LCR, BMW, the pair had no problems with their machine but driver Petri said "I am a bit rusty!! I missed some gears, but this was me and not a problem with the bike, tomorrow will be better"
Sixth place went to Janez Remse and Jamie Biggs on their "Remse Racing" LCR, Yamaha,the team were very happy with how things went, and hope all goes well tomorrow.
Seventh place went to Uwe Gurck and Manfred Wechselberger on their "Polizei Sport Verein Wels" LCR, BMW, with a new bike to the team they were happy with the days performance.
Eighth place went to Jacob Rutz and Thomas Hofer on their "Team Rutz" LCR, Yamaha with a time of 2'20.092.
Weather tomorrow is to be better, and temperatures up on today. All the sidecar teams will be hoping for better times for their grid positions for Sundays race.
