Re: 2014 Quebec GP Results and Final Championships

I spoke with Neal and Mylaps will not accept additional names ie passengers or endurance team mates. Neal will likely make up a separate listing and post it on our site. It will take some time as it is all manual and requires going through all the results for heat and final races.

Pitting Sep 27/28

I would like to get all the sidecars (vintage and modern) to pit in the same area - easier to socialize and to tech! We will do our own tech and it will be done at your pit. The attraction of the lower west corner is power (limited) but it also can get very wet. I will pit on the upper part of the f...

Re: Questions for a sidecar project...

Eddy, I would love to see another sidecar on the grid. Your girlfriend is right - they are a lot of fun! A rule change of this nature would not be discussed at the AGM as it changes an existing rule. The only rule changes discussed at the AGMs since the change in rule change procedure in 2010 were t...

Re: Looking for a P1 500 bike

I am selling Ralf Scholtes' bikes and he has 2 P1 Honda 500s. They have not been run for several years and will need going over, but they are race prepped and each has the Suzuki four leading shoe front brake. Contact me by e-mail for pictures.

Gridding

A new grid arrangement was tried on Sunday, which I did not know about - one rig per row alternating left and right. I liked it. It gave us room and took up no more rows than 2 rigs every second row. Comments?

Re: Sidecar Reunion September 27/28

A great sidecar weekend happened at St Eustache - all entered rigs finished on Sunday. First three teams were within one second of the lap record. Let's get a good turnout and put on a show.

Re: Another vintage sidecar round

There is great support for another vintage sidecar round. I will be speaking to Chris in the next week or at the Aug 9/10 RACE/SRA round. There will be a repeat of the year end barbeque provided by RACE that we attended at the final round last year so a sidecar pot luck may not be practical as the s...

Another vintage sidecar round

Chris and I have discussed if the vintage sidecars would be interested in racing at SMP for the last RACE round on September 27/28. This event is also the last round for the modern sidecars. Chris told me that the modern and vintage sidecars would have separate practices and races. Sue and I raced a...

Re: Bach to back races.

This is the same Sunday schedule for the last 3 rounds. I run P3L so am lucky to have a break however Sue is also in P4F3. It often causes problems to change a schedule so a short break between race 2 and 3 may be an option. Back to back on the same bike is one thing but changing to a sidecar is mor...

Re: overheating advise please

My engine runs very hot but it seems to be the nature of the beast. Oil pans do not help as they remove all cooling air flow past the sump. I have ducts in the fairing but no directional ducts to the engine. The oil pump is small and consequently flow is not very large so large coolers make little d...
