@JeffMaconi That would be great. If you can get there on Friday for practice, you might have a chance to give it a try.

The co-pilot must continuously optimize the weight balance based on the direction the driver is turning.

Failure to be in the right spot at any moment will cause a crash.

It is the driver’s responsiblity to account for the extra 2 feet that the co-pilot extends on the left turns when trying to pass on the outside.

Wheel to wheel is where the co-pilot makes the biggest difference.

The driver generally must deviate from the usual racing line to set up and then execute a pass. The co-pilot must be able to anticipate exactly how the driver will execute the pass and make the necessary adjustments..

The driver must be 100% confident in his co-pilot in order to push the limit and be competitive. This is truly a team sport.

@AmygdalaActual @SusieM414141 Yes we were there a few years ago and it was amazing.

It is one of the best tracks in the country.

Full race onboards are available on my YouTube channel sidecar fun.

@JeffMaconi Do they require a hearing test?

Does everybody wear ear plugs in the car?

Have you ever tested the difference in your HR in the car with and without them?

@JeffMaconi Good job Jeff

We had a great time at the Indycar race at Barber. We signed up for the car show to display the DCC sidecar.

The show is organized by manufacturer and country of origin, but as soon as we pulled in, the event director placed us front and center between a classic Porsche 356 and an absolutely stunning Auburn boat tail speedster.

The people at Barber always treat sidecars well.

@JohnHeim @CopicOfficialUS Dogs + sidecars = maximum fun

Had a great time this weekend at DCC. We had a record number of participants and raised a record $17M to support critical cancer research. DCC has now raised a total of $100M.

Our team captain @finatic1972 is truly an inspiration. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious.

The Dolphins do an amazing job keeping this event running smoothly with so many participants.

I didn’t get a chance to see everybody, but I did see hundreds of new people joining the thousands of returning supporters and survivors.

Seeing so many survivors out there gives hope to those still in the fight.💪

This is a wonderful event that supports a great cause. Next year will be even bigger.

@patinaresearch Would love to see more sidecars.

Sidecars raced at the 1981 Long Beach Grand Prix. I have seen the tv coverage and pre race interviews that a friend had recorded, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

George Barber was a visionary and an inspiration to the entire racing community, especially sidecar teams.

He was always friendly with the sidecar community and gave us an opportunity to race at a world class facility.

He even drove up to the paddock to hang out with us for a while after our race last year.

He didn’t have to do that.

Incredibly grateful for what he built and the time that he spent with us. He will be sorely missed.

@TackleCancer Team work makes the dream work

[Sidecar Fun @FunSidecar]

@Retromania4ever The 1981 Long Beach Grand Prix had sidecars as a support race.

The race was won by Hall of Fame driver Larry Coleman.

Some would argue that it was the greatest day in the American motorsports history.

[Sidecar Fun @FunSidecar]

@KeselowskiBrian They should add sidecars at road course events
