Sidecar people - Shaun Harris - 21-08-2006
I Have been having a few drives in my mates GSXR1000 sidecar over the last few months, man what a lot of fun! I started my racing years ago in a chair and then changed over to two wheels.
Anyway, I have started thinking seriously about racing one at the 2007 TT
If anyone has any good info or leeds as to who to talk to about this re what type of chair etc, please get in touch
Thanks

If you ever need a passenger, Shaun...I could always come out of retirement. Maybe Greg Lambert would give me a reference? LOL!

Ah, but would the Fat Controller give you a Course Licence, Helen :?:
Oops, I mean of course a Course Permit - how could I make such a mistake :?: :?:

Mick Boddice has raced chairs and solos but Paul Coward does the passengering and solos so both of them could be of some use Saun? oh sorry Helen you have experiences also? lol

shaun that would be awesome-imagine winning on 2 wheels and 3 for the cenetenary TT-as long as rugby get some common sense and let you in!(still wear my tshirt with pride)
now there's a thought-has anyone actually won a TT on both 2 and 3 wheels?
Freddie Dixon - ian huntly - 27-08-2006
Only Freddie Dixon, I believe...sidecar in1923 and solo in 1927...
Perhaps Shaun, you could be the first to do the 3+2 in one year !!
Hoping to see you really competitive in 2007 !!

who is in the chair shaun is it helen? go on shaun go for it if you break down in a remote spot the WITCH could fix it, lol

Nigel Rollason won on both two and three wheels in the Island, the 1971 Senior Manx on a Yamroll, and the 1986 Sidecar B on the Barton Phoenix.
Freddie Dixon went won better with a car win in the 1935 Empire Trophy; he was to also win a car TT, but this was held in Ireland

Not sure about that yet Pikey, I am still trying to find the support I need to make this happen, man what a blast it would be if I can pull it off
