Thanks for that!

Guy was certainly getting the hang of it towards the end and he seems prepared to have a go at just about anything,

 

I've never seen speedway sidecars in the flesh but I did a bit of sidecar passengering on the road circuits in my younger day and always like seeing a bit of three wheeled action.

 

Speedway sidecars would be just the kind of thing to enliven speedway meetings but obviously it would only work at the bigger tracks.

Speedway sidecars would be just the kind of thing to enliven speedway meetings but obviously it would only work at the bigger tracks.

Having been a sidecar passenger for 8 years (speedway, grasstrack and a short spell on road racing) I have to say that sidecar speedway could be a great success in this country if properly promoted. It provides exciting racing, generally more overtaking than the solos. What has been lacking in the past was any kind of identity with which fans could associare themselves. Team racing with our favourite individuals has always been the bread and butter of 2 wheel racing so why not sidecar teams as a second half attraction? Oh well, I can dream. I might even come out of retirement if they'd let me double up. lol

As to it only working on the bigger tracks. We used to race regularly at Plymouth. Assuming you can get 4 outfits on the start line you can race anywhere.
