Drew and Alan's Hillclimb on the sidecar

**Drew** · 26th March 2013, 20:38

I should point out something, that hadn't occurred to me to say until now.

At no point did I wonder if Al was where he should be on the chair. Every turn he was where was best and did it without me noticing.

He has one meeting experience swinging, and I reckon he's two things. He's got spider monkey DNA, and a gift for swinging sidecars!

Well done mate, you're a fuckin star.

I think it is because we had the first of the big slides out of the first left hand section. You can just hear me yelling something after it.

I just like going fast and don't want to fall off in the process.

Great vid to go with a good write up! It probably took me longer to read it than it took you to ride it

**DJSin** · 26th March 2013, 21:39

Awesome write up. Was great to meet you and Al.

Thanks for the go on the pit bike

**merv** · 26th March 2013, 21:52

Yeah good skills Weaver. Is Drew saying you have a strong grip? Where would you get that from then?

**DingoZ** · 27th March 2013, 03:03

+ fooken 100 to you both. That's fricken awesome.

**saul** · 27th March 2013, 05:19

Doug reckons he's ridden a couple. Qualification seemed to end there.

Cool. Excellent read ... a great first run fior a new chair ... when you get it completely sorted that's going to be one really quick chair.

Get away from your keyboard on May 4th to the NZSRA Have A Go Day at the Taupo track...jump on any sidecar for $10 for three laps and you might discover a new found appreciation for the guys and girls that race sidecars...I think you'll find it anything BUT boring
