Looks like a great bunch, that SRA. It's been years since I've seen the modern sidecars do their stuff.  Thumbsup

They're pretty whacko, but a great bunch.  If they offer demo rides, take them up on it!  I did, and what a ride!  We spun it up out of every corner, after sliding it in on the brakes.  Two laps and I was beat from wrestling myself back and forth across the monkey chair. Fun?  Most fun I've had with track leathers on!   Bigok Banana Chili

I'll e-mail some  of the teams.  I'd sure like to do the "monkey" thing for a couple of laps!

It's a major hoot, but your hands will be a tad angry with you after, if you haven't been keeping up with your grip execises...  EEK! Bigsmile

I had a demo ride quite some time ago on one of the Vintage BMW rigs, that was fun. These beasts look like they are quite capable of tiring an old ape like me out Bigsmile

Two laps at Portland International had me sweating like a pig, and grinning like an idiot!   Bigok  You really want to do it on one of the long wheelbase beasties, though.  They power slide, instead of trying to flip you into the weeds.  Much more fun.  Thumbsup

This Oct 6th and 7th the Sidecars will be joing WMRRA at the last round of the season at Pacific Raceways.  It is the SRA-West group mentioned above.

Come out and check it out.
