Sidecar Racers: Hanging Out On The Job

With no coverage of sidecar racing here in the US, we try to make our own. Some organizations have rules about what can be mounted and how it's mounted, limiting what we can capture on camera.

Team Johnny Killmore's 2016 time: 11:26.644: a difference of only 0.343 seconds.

Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 1

Race day was unique for the 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
