    Thumbs up Sidecar Have a go day Taupo 30th April

    Just like to say a big thank you to all Riders and Crews for yesterdays highly successful day.We have always looked at you crazy people at meetings thinking hell I wouldn't mind a spin on one of those haha.We thought the wise decision might be to start on a classic then work up to an F1 machine.Somehow we got sucked into going straight out on #17 Spikes one with a bit of advice from the guys we were off.The first thing that I noticed was the G forces that are trying to throw you off .Quickly the 3 laps were over and we came in buzzing and wondering how the hell you could last 6 laps of an actual race !!!.Then I went on the Lawrance machine then the Lovell one and then a final go back on the first one.Still buzzing and cant wait for the next one cheers all

    I also had a go yesterday and also couldn't believe how the g forces were and how hard physically it was for just 3 laps. I have always had admiration for the guys that race these machines and that has gone up immensely after yesterday.
    I had a ride on a couple of classic machines and loved it.
    Thank you to all involved, what a fantastic day.

    This thread is covering the same ground as the one in the events forum.
    Can we whistle up a mod to merge them?
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Next year, buy one, then you can do it more often

    Yes, that was really good fun. Thanks to all riders and crews from me, too. You guys must have had a really long day there. Hope you also got a bit of fun out of taking all the muggles around the track.

    if anybody would like to join the NZSRA (you don't have to own or compete on a sidecar, just have an interest) they can contact me on here.

    there are also T shirts available for purchase.
