I didn't have time to shit my pants
I would have said the back locked as well but when we checked afterwards there was a lot of front bias, last time we set it was at HD so I am fucked if I know how it could have changed so much when we've only done one club day since and haven't fucked around with it

It may have lifted the back off the ground. We were getting that badly with pinky at Manfield after we put decent pads in it, sounded like a slipper clutch.
Saving the goat....

Some not bad coverage of the BSTT on TV3, you could quite clearly see Sidecarbob giving us the finger as we passed them, good onboards as well and in the classic my current hero Nodrog got a mention

Yes, very disappointed the commentator failed to notice that. My favourite was "Geordie" on the BMW.Some not bad coverage of the BSTT on TV3, you could quite clearly see Sidecarbob giving us the finger as we passed them, good onboards as well and in the classic my current hero Nodrog got a mention
Tracey cam is not the Tracey cam I'm accustomed to though.

No, the wanker broke our fairing in the previous race.
I marmited his door handles on the transit to teach him a lesson.

People have been asking for a copy of the proposed pre 82 rules, sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. Here they are. The main bones of it are not negotiable, however we are quite happy to write further clarification into things if required.
This is a copy of the email that was distributed.
Below is the proposed regs for Pre ’82 (Australian period 5) Sidecars, these will be presented to MNZ initially to include in the supplementary regulations, with a view to include them as rules. These rules have been formulated as close to the Australian specifications as possible, mainly so
we can compete with them on a level playing field, & so if their sidecars come up for sale, we can buy & run them here with virtually no modification.
Initially it is intended that Pre ’82 will run in the current F1 F2 modern class & it is likely that these outfits will be on a similar pace to the current F2 machines.
Should numbers increase to a point where there is sufficient to run a Pre ‘82 class alone, the situation will be addressed at such time.
The NZSRA Pre '82 championship will be run in the same races as the modern NZSRA points rounds.
A trophy will be presented at the annual prizegiving to the Pre 82 champion, if only one
outfit contests the championship in the first or subsequent years the trophy will still be awarded to that team.
If anyone would like a hand hooking up with some Aussie teams with a view to purchasing an outfit, let me know, otherwise, get building!!
Cheers, Steve Bryan.

Buggerit...the exact same mistake as the solo regs. Weber and Dellorto sidedrafts were used in period on both solo and sidecar motors. But they're not legal....
The guy i know who wants to build an Imp will be pissed....
Forum whore
That would come under the "further clarification" & I doubt there will be a problem. These rules were formulated from an amalgamation of the NZ pre 82 solo rules & the Aussie period 5 rules, which to be honest, are a tad vague.
Seeing as weber & dellorto carbs along with Hilborn injection were freely available pre '82 there will be no issues with their use.
The carb rules refer specifically to bike carbs.
Any car component manufactured pre 82 are fine to use, for example the Mk1 Cortina discs Mo Hayley used are ok.
The idea of putting these proposed rules out there before they are locked & loaded into MNZ rules is that they can be quickly tweaked without going through a convoluted process.
Once we are all happy that the wording & content are correct, we can go to the next level.
We also need to allow for Dyna style ignition systems & magneto's.
These aren't my rules, they are our rules, I'm keen to hear from anyone that wants to provide some positive input.
