A friend (young Lady) wanted to be a passenger on a F1 sidecar, Snett this weekend gone, she got her wish.

When her timing comes up to speed she won't get quite as many bruises :whistle:

Respect.....bruises fade, memories don't.
I wouldn't do it even if I was 40 years younger.

Cant say what Ian & Sophie were doing he would have been very respectful of a Novice,but he would be near my sort of speeds, my best speed under the bridge at snett was a tad over 145 mph & finish line 140 mph, top guy's under the bridge 150 mph, I've not raced since the end of 2015

Its not that close Chris 65 mm:p Regulations not allowed any lower but your toes do touch in places as a driver, best thing is its not far to fall for a passenger ;):whistle:

Last time I went to snet my mate was racing his velo. That was around 1978-80 he didn't win, to worried about crashing it.

Where did she get the bruises from? She didn't seem to do anything nasty to get them. Good effort through without a doubt.

None of them appeared to hang out over the sidecar wheel, I seemed to recall they used to hang out with their head near on touching the ground.

Wet & slippery no need to do the lefts, Sometimes I would want them just to stay on the back wheel for the whole race, As the weekend dried up she had to work it harder so hence the bruises,
