I owe a big thank you to all the sidecar teams!

The effort you put into the weekend is fantastic. I know it is asking a lot to have you run your rigs in T3, an extra 30 minutes on a sidecar engine is huge.

Just want you to know that over one third of the money donated was due to this small groups generosity.

Thank you again,

Jim and Lynn.

Re: try the track - THANKS FOR THE fun!

Long overdue a big THANK YOU to Paul Whittaker for the great experience riding with you in the sidecar! I actually wanted to get another few laps in w/you - my hand signal was in request of the next corner..."was that a right?" -likely you were tired of my inexperience presenting some poor timing around those corners! ha!
That's what you get for not (shameful admittance) ever doing a lap on MOSPORT - and my first one with you in a sidecar - as a sidecar monkette.
Special thanks to Marie for the superb instructions!!
Gosh, yes, it was tiring ...but what a GREAT thing to experience.
Thanks VRRA et al for offering up such a gr8 happening. I'll be bringing the girls (more MOTORESS'es) along with me next year!
...admittedly, I'd still want to be the one steering :)
If anyone has any photos, let me know - need one for the blog/FB/twitter/website.

Apologies to Vicky? when some one signs to the right at Mosport when nearing pit in, it normally means they want off. And no I never expect a first timer to be up to speed. Hugh Bennett was as close as it gets a few years ago. yours, Paul.
