Ended up with two finishes and two DNFs due to electrical gremlins, which were mildly disappointing but well made up for with the last two races. However the highlight of the weekend was definitely getting to take Blackadder out on Saturday evening as a rider for half a dozen laps. Damn, I'm hooked!
If I can find a swinger, I should be at Hampton Downs too!

Willy and Julie had their first DNF in todays last sidecar race.
I think it should be in the record books too! They have done just over 130 races without a DNF!!! That in itself is a record, but maybe a record for a Triumph engine too?
You guys rock as a team. A real inspiration to anyone that loves racing. Fast, and crowd pleasers!!

Where you other fellas on the classics today?
Had a pretty awesome day today as usual, bike looking tight in its new colors we rocked up fairly early and set up.. Kick agreed to come on for practice qualifying.. did a couple laps before he corrected some of my lines and then tried to go out again but airbox fell off and also the oil catch tray fell off (sadly these were both parts we specifically worked on last night while repairing exhaust, gave the oil catch tray an extra couple bolts that were missing and used some extra tie wire to hold airbox down) anyway.. we got the parts back on properly next time around.
First race started ok, good off the line compared to rest but then got stuck in 1st gear.. took a couple of attempts to grab 2nd gear and by then i was in 3rd place.. harris bike was being piloted by a couple first timers so for once I wasn't the slowesttried to grab onto the back of AJ but the bike was handling real strange and was wrestling with it. By the last lap swinger is tapping me frantically and looking scared while pointing at the wheels. I finished the race naturally, and later found out the wheel nuts had come very.. very loose. mmmm...
2nd race was ok, we were a little worried that everything seemed to be falling off the bike so we just circulated around.. was ok, bike felt a bit better and started practicing some better lines that Kick told me to take.
Third race had got comfortable with kicks lines and we managed a 1:55 lap.. which we were happy with! and had a f*ckn blast on the last race!!
Good day all round.. Now its hampsters next on the calendar.. Awaiting bike tranz to pick the yella terra up.
The AGIP colors were a bit of a conversation starter through out the day too it was choice, even had the NZ Agip rep come up to me at end of the day and ask who I was and asked about the bike etc and said he'd make sure local Agip supplier will look after us (they already do, cheers TransDiesel CHCH) and got to yarn to a few ppl about the limited nz sidecar racing history I know (fuck all.. lol)

If Squiggles can confirm his availability, then we should be rocking up to Hampton Downs with the borrowed Blackadder (#128). If he can't, then I'm not sure what the plan B will be.

Just turn up, there will be someone there who can do it

Apologies, it's a classic BSA A65-powered short tall-wheel sidecar.

Power egg, Are the sidecars split into different age groups for the races or are the classics all in?

I could probably swing on a classic? I'd be happy to jump in between modern races if nothing else pans out

According to the program they are split
Stock is best
i'm motarded
you did pretty good for your first crack at it, safe as. got a couple of photos of ya.Managed to get down to Taupo on Saturday and had a go swinging on the BMW rig with Gordy. Pretty freakin' cool. Thanks to Steve, Gordy and Scrivy (sorry man, managed to forget your real name) for the opportunity and advice; as well as Tracey for actually showing how its done.
And a big thanks to Gordy for not throwing my ass off at some point around the track. He probably spent more time looking back to figure out where the hell I was, rather than watching were he was going.Still, pretty smooth and steady which was good. I'd be keen on another go given the opportunity.
Was a good weekend, apparently I have a sidecar to finish so I will do a race report when I get time.
Highlight of the weekend was captain shoutey with his UCM.
look a wheelie!

The BMW solo has standard Staintune street mufflers on it & consequently, the loudest part of it is the wind noise, so it was suggested I should shout as i went past the stands at upward of 160k, to see if they could hear me. Yes, apparently they could hear me, over in the back paddock too.
UCM = upright cornering manuvere, something one becomes quite proficent in with two big fat cylnders poking out the side.
3rd in Open Modified class wasnt too bad an effort for a standard road bike minus lights though!!
