    If you get to have a go as passenger just remember not to hang off, doing that just slows it down. All you need to do is move just far enough left in left handers to stop the wheel coming up and either forward or back depending on which end is slipping most in right handers. I used to piss round at Ohakea when Doug was driving and hang back so it got LOTS of understeer and then move forward till it gripped. In the end me and Doug worked so the thing drifted right through a corner with me moving back and forward to control what it did. Some of the best fun I have ever had.

    Yea just had to hang on good especially in the wet eh! dragged Speedpro half way round a track didnt realise he had nearly fallen off the back.
    I gave up racing my bucket to race the sidecar I enjoyed it more, just remember not to loan the riding duties out to the brother in law when there are tree's about - Speedpro knows what I am talking about.

    There used to be quite a few sidecars in the Manawatu, do wonder whatever happened to them.
    If you're not living on the edge you're not leaning over far enough
