It's that time again y'all. I'll be back on the road to Sturgis, piloting the camera bike for Sara Liberte and acting as a veteran mentor and knower-of-sidecar-things for the Veterans Charity Ride to Sturgis. For those of you who are unaware, the VCR takes wounded and amputee veterans on an epic ride to the … Continue reading Veterans Charity Ride: Follow the Ride
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.

Team Johnny Killmore's 2016 time: 11:26.644: a difference of only 0.343 seconds. If I had missed one more upshift, if I had slacked off in one turn, or if Matt had missed one … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 2
Race day was unique for the 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The field was drastically reduced and that promised to get everyone up the hill before the afternoon weather came in. The only problem was that water from the previous night's rain had not yet abated. This was obviously going to … Continue reading Pikes Peak 2016: Sidecars To The Summit PART 1

The forum and social media accounts are a place to interact with other racers, the news page is full of the happenings within the scene, and Slow Phil's Sidecar Show keeps a page there for their podcast. So obviously I had to make … Continue reading Repost of Our Pikes Peak Press Release
After four days of tremendous effort, Rising Sun Racing finally managed to fire their engine for the first time at the 2016 Pike Peak Hill Climb. The engine would run at the hotel, but every time they took it to altitude on America's Mountain the lump would stubbornly refuse so so much as stutter. Finally, … Continue reading The Best Sound Ever
