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.

Rung Regan, he is all good to go on Wildman's Rig, you can give him the thumbs up!

Cheers Chris awesome work. Amazing effort everyone. Cant wait for Saturday it should be a blast. Now I just need to put some finishing touches on the sidecar, a nights work or so on the solo and I should be all good to go.

OK folks, this is how they line up so far, in no particular order.
Des & Erika (blackwidow)
Richie & Will (enterprise)
Scott & Kerry (team Palmy)
pumba & Ieda (battletruck)
Rick & Henk (pancake)
Gordie & Tina (scooter)
Koba & koba mate (brentons bulldozer)
Chris & Tracey (stockcar)
Reagan & Moose (wildmans worm)
Steve ? & no name (postman pat)

sorry if you dont like your sidecars name, thats all i could think off ( you can change if you want )
The Henkstar has said the GP race for us will be 15 laps, & then we will have other events after that. Remember some of the owners who have let us borrow bikes for this event are coming down so they can ride them after GP in the fun events, & Im sure there will be alot of swapping around of rigs.

Will there be power in the pits for our tyre warmers?

Only if you bring a really long extension cord.

15 Laps? Shall we start a new poll as to how many will still going at the end? Counting down the sleeps. Can any one remember back in the day did we ever grid up double figures?

Not sure about numbers in the GP or even exactly when it was last held, but when i first started in bucket sidecars in the mid 80s we had 20 odd at hastings kart track, was usually a doz or so at the whakatane street race & sometimes big numbers at Ohakea. lets hope everyone has a good time and all finish, if you cant catch the one in front slow down and play with the one behind, so yoiu dont thrash the rigs to much, still really good fun battling with someone.

Might be a case of trying to avoid burning and moving chicanes?

Think the 2000 GP had about 10 Rigs. GP was always a 20 lapper too, but that's just crazy talk...

Just called at Paknslave for Pies and chocolate for Will this week, His leathers will be so tight swinging will be rubish and at 95Kg Richies chair will stuggle up the hill.
