Looking forward to the start of 2011 CRMC sidecar racing, although only 80 days left so that's 79 late nights for me!! eeek!!!

Thanks to Ian Johnson, (Sidecar Bloke) for all the hard work put in over the year and winter in preparation for the 2011 season and Dave Gristwood, sponsor of the Sidecar races, and Passenger (how many sponsors does one see actually getting involved in the action??

I gather that there will be many more entries this year, with more talented teams, to add to 2010 this will make 2011 the Classic Sidecar season one to beat all others. Welcome to all those new sidecar teams, hope to meet you all in the paddock and especially the Saturday evenings.

Good luck to everyone, there's sure to be a grandious supply of top racing (and parties) and many a great weekend to be had.

Once again thanks to Ian & Dave and CRMC that have built this class over the past years from a practically non-existent grid, and thanks for all those racing in 2010 that gave everyone such exciting racing and paddock.

PREPARE TO HAVE FUN, BE SCARED OUT OF YOUR WITS, (DRINK TOO MUCH) MEET MANY GREAT TEAMS, AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS...BRING IT ON!!!

It's ok for you people not carrying spare tyres but us larger framed specimens need to do some work in the off season to try and keep some of the fitness built up during the season. Buddha.

I tried the gym when I raced me rd but it bored me silly I'd rather punish meself out in the open air.

[sidecar bloke]

Dave, does society actually allow that sort of thing nowadays?
