Greetings all! Another FNG here. My regular passenger and I live in Maryland near Frederick. We have a modest amount of sidecar racing time. We got started messing around on a 1985 Wasp/CR500 MX hack (which somehow ended up registered and wearing Historic License Plates–that story only gets told over beers).
Our addiction led to us racing Pike’s Peak in 2011 on a 1974 Wasp/XS650. Now that The Hill is all paved, we’ve moved towards the road racing side and plan on building a P3 to race with AHRMA and maybe some of your races if permitted, and then go back to PPIHC. I’ve been talking with Jim Carlson about building the frame–I can do the rest. Another good friend is also planning on building a vintage rig so with luck, in 2013 there will be 2 new teams.
I’ve just about worn out my welcome with Roger asking dumb questions. MX rules are SO much easier! They don’t exist! :mrgreen:
Hello Kyler, VRRA has a P3 class; check the rules before starting your rig. You are very welcome to race with us, the closest track this year is Shannonville, east of Belleville if you come up #81. Some P1-P2 rules evolved through our close relationship with USCRA (disc brake on P1 for instance, due to all the concrete at Loudon). Not sure USCRA has anything past P2. Marie and I have been going south since we started back in 99. racing at Loudon, Gunstock, Beaver Run, Mid Ohio, Elkhart Lake, Gingerman, Roebling roads. VRRA P3 class was set up a few years ago but rarely had any out, other than one GT750 front exit. This last year saw 3 on the track so it may be growing finally. Roger is a good “go to” guy, I have a VRRA annual award here for him, next time we meet. Paul.
