The Season Is Over By The Way
I never bothered posting anything because the finale was so anti-climactic. We skipped Saturday practice at Willow Springs, and then it started raining Sunday morning. We were the only team to go out for the first practice session. There was a dry line from the previous group of bikes, but it went away by the … Continue reading The Season Is Over By The Way
Gina Writes For Team Johnny Killmore
Hey everyone, I couldn't wait to share this post from Gina. We honestly don't talk as much as I'd like about her perspective, other than what she needs to go faster. I'm very single-minded at the track, and honestly I forget that racing a sidecar is anything but totally normal, everyday stuff. It's great to … Continue reading Gina Writes For Team Johnny Killmore

Update 8/10/2011
Well folks, the bike took quite a pounding while at Pikes Peak. Spinning out 3 times was the least of our worries, with the violent headshake under decel being the real problem. The machine started doing this same thing seemingly out of nowhere last Sept. After the problem got worse, we determined the front end … Continue reading Update 8/10/2011
