Sidecar Incident

**Gremlin** · 20th February 2008, 00:21

Post 1... ah yes... point 5. Lets say it was... popular. I was at Point 6.

Bagman... yes, point 6 liked him, NOT. 5 secs for him to coat the track in slippery sawdust and what not, and it took us the entire interval, 3 people, to get a semi clear racing line. Ta, very considerate of you... leave the bags alone

cant quite work out what happened as in what started it all in the sidecar start, anyone?

No, the one in front of the yellow one, he stalled, yellow one tried to go around, not enough space and clipped him, spun and flipped.

Alex is the one hidden on the right by the crowd... look again you will see him now that you know he is there. His swinger (his son) jumps off the chair to help.

He may have stalled, but damn, what an amazing man... he only started racing in his late fifties, and only started sidecars in his sixties! Go Alex!!!! What an inspiration.
