The motorsports endeavors of Team Johnny Killmore as well as commentary about the wider world of motorized sport.
Well it's official: I am done with road-racing sidecars. I first started out as a passenger on "The Woody," a very dilapidated but fun Formula 2 outfit, in 2008. I moved into the driver's seat in late 2009 and was campaigning my own bike by 2010. During those years I've had many highs and lows, … Continue reading End of an Era: Closing the Sidecar Door Opens a Window to Adventure
Hello all, Just a quick note that my piece for the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys website has gone live. I was back at Weathertech Laguna Seca Raceway to see MotoAmerica and WorldSBK in action, and check out the event. Crowds were slightly up in numbers and way up in enthusiasm, staying to catch the last … Continue reading Superbikes at Laguna Seca
Just a quick note. A piece I did about the American Flat Track event two weeks ago has gone live at the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys blog. The Calistoga half-mile was the first time I'd been to a half-mile event and I really enjoyed the difference. I'm looking forward to going back to the Sacramento … Continue reading American Flat Track at Calistoga
This happened about a month ago at the first race of the SRA-West season. We were running second when the bike in front of us-- Team 5150-- got a heavy weave under braking at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and couldn't make the turn. Sound didn't record but I added some music from a band I used … Continue reading Video: Sidecar Racing Crash

The 17 year-old Arizona native is a privateer of the highest order, balancing school, a part-time job, and racing along with social activities like being a youth leader at his church. The full-length article is here on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Blog. … Continue reading Industry Spotlight: Nic Swensgard
The world of sidecar racing is pretty small, but there are still 100's of names out there, each with dozens of stories. Dick Hawes is a name I did not know until today, when I came across this piece about him on the Steve English website. The Isle of Man TT is quite well known … Continue reading Dick Hawes: The End of an Era
I haven't been able to post in quite awhile, and now isn't a good time either. Still, it's best to get the bullet points out there. Sidecar racing will happen this year. The team exists as Strategic Protocol Motorsport, renamed and relaunched last year after I partnered up with promotion & film company Strategic Protocol. … Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To
Well, I won't be giving daily updates on the Dakar this year, but I did write up a detailed piece for those who want to follow. The Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorney's blog has the piece live now. There will be more restrictions on access this year when it comes to viewing out-of-region feeds, so the challenge in … Continue reading Dakar Rally 2018
I just put together a quick clip of myself and Matt Blank chasing after the #69 sidecar of Kelly Bell and Johnny Glover last summer during the MotoAmerica races at the Utah Motorsports Campus. Fellow Racers probably know that feeling of being about as fast as the person in front of you but they are … Continue reading Off Season Video Reminder: Why We Do It
