Hello Nicole, if we do spectator laps this weekend you are welcome to come out. If you already have a race lic we will try to get you out in a practice session, if you do not you would have to take the school first. I only have one sidecar unfortunately which is already booked. Perhaps one of the ot...

Hello Marcus, this is a great deal. question if the FIM is moved up from the July 4-5 weekend, is that event canceled ?

around the middle of the fairing on the chair side is good.
You have to wonder at Neal lurking on the sidecar forum, he must be leaning to the dark side?

Hi Gord, I can probably find you the other two wheels and even a motor reasonably priced, you have to glue it together though. Paul.

we have 2 teams taking the sidecar school at Shannonville so far, are there any more out there who want to throw their hat in ?
I hear there may be a couple of drivers looking for monkey's this year. Paul.

when the Mallory Park sidecar weekend can muster 700 rigs, and we have about 7 in the VRRA, isn't this a bit like carrying coal's to Newcastle ?

I would add that this is the only forum for vintage sidecars in North America that I am aware of. If the people involved in the sport feel they have nothing to say on the forum, this does not mean there is no interest. Since My Boyd has a large garage full of old bikes, and has been involved with th...

I had some caliper pistons made to replace pitted GT750 pistons. made in a few days and chromed and shipped at about 2/3 the cost of genuine parts: which are amazingly still available. The only comment would be the machined groove on the open end for the dust seal was a bit sharp on the edge. Nice t...

Go to it Jerry, the Daley's ran the Island for a start, They might stand you interviewing them, a couple of brews usually help.

John started racing sidecar the same year with Mike ? Leece in the chair, the following year they were both out on separate rigs. John on #248 the Triumph powered "Manx Cat", and Art on #286 Norton powered "Cougar". They retired around 2000 with #1 plates in the SRA on a snowmobi...

My 1969 GP program has #232 Norm Murphy and Art Daley, by the 1970 GP Norm had #8 and B. Boyce in the chair.
Norm's later green and blue sidecar was one of the prettiest machines on the track, I think it may have been a "Kitten" from the UK.

thanks Ian for the heads up, there is also a lad in the SRA who has been doing this as a fund raiser for the group's annual auction. I will let Rabbie and Christina know (#600), if they are not aware yet. Paul.

The VRRA basically adopted the USCRA rules for its P1-P2 sidecar class. The class is often referred to as the "twins" class. While the P3 class rules written for VRRA, does welcome Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph etc triples, there has to date been no mention of the 500cc Kawasaki in P2. I belie...

Hi Ian, I am on dialup so I loading and playing this would likely take me past my bedtime. But a round of thanks for taking the time. Paul.

can one of our hexperts tell us about the long and short main jets in the pic, are they interchanged and why ? Paul.
