Did you wear the last one out? And after you went to all the trouble of fitting a battery so he doesn't face plant the track again.

It's not another ring in from the Lawrence camp is it?

Below is a direct quote from Kamil

"However our medic aida or sum crazy name has offerd to swing for ya. She swings on a short chair in f1 so a worthy replacement"

You now know everything I do

As I see it at the moment, me and Scotty were on our Rig (Griffiths), Regan could maybe pilot Wildman's, but we are short a swinger. If we have so many rigs, either Wildman can be let off the hook, or another Swinger needs to be roped in there too. He will probably have to be an Aucklander as all our GP registered guys would be spoken for.

So another possibility is that Regan could jump on the rig with Koba? Maybe they could have a fight to see who pilots?

Had a bit of a shaky start today, engine wouldn't rev out and missing, problem CDI, hmmmmm sounds a bit like Henk and Rick, swapped out my spare and it's running better than ever, the Loncin engine is great but the 50 cent CDI's are really crap, mental note always carry a spare!

Hey the first I heard of it was yesterday when my swinger pointed out he didn't have a licence (news to me). If she is a willing victim Chris she would be great on the side.

We didn't exactly have a trouble free day either, fuel issues on the out lap of race one caused by a crimped vacuum line followed by a broken throttle cable after a lap.
Bludged a cable off Warren and bodied it in for the second race where we got beaten fair and square by Brenton and Andrew.

i spent most the day dynoing the sidecar , it had a dud million dollar plug in it and would not rev past 7.5 rpm . thought it was the high speed coil .. full hp and lots of over rev now

Maybe I should get a tie down and strap myself to the rig now!

It was some good racing, managed to get a 34.8 lap in

pretty much pushing the limit. I think the 16 tooth front sprocket we fitted for today worked well, the rig still pulled ok, and I'm sure it will be a boon for Tokaroa, being a longer track. I'm not sure what today did for the over all seasons points but it must be getting close at the top.

Ok Seymour, you get Reagan to ride wildmans, & i will find a swinger for him ( let me know if thats not happenen. Aida is swinging for you Pumba all sorted. If there is anyone else wanting to ride or swing that have full licences let me know ASAP & i will see if i can fit you on one. OH yeah & racing was fun today, had some good battles with Des & trying to outdrag the 2 top guns to turn 1, It will be a great sight to hopefully see 10 sidecars on the grid this weekend. If anyone knows of any others sitting in garages, please get ph nos as this will be the ideal time to get others into this. There are 2 new ones still being built in Auckland.
