This coming weekend (Oct 8-9) will see the best
of NSW road race sidecar action at Eastern Creek where HRR will promote the NSW
Sidecar Championship.Tickets are
available at the gate for just $20 (even less for children & pensioners) and
pit access is included in the ticket price. So come and stroll through the
pits where you can talk to the evergreen Doug Chivas about his defence of the
NSW title he earned last year. Doug currently holds all three east coast
state titles. Meet the Darryl Rayner / Craig Longhurst team who currently
lead the Australian F2 championship going into the final round at Phillip Island
in November. Choose your opportunity appropriately, but make the effort to
chat to any of the nineteen sidecar teams racing this weekend. Sidecar
teams have a reputation for fellowship and camaraderie which is unique in
motorsport.NSW teams have recently
celebrated victory over their Queensland counterparts in the four round
interstate challenge series and will be looking to cement that with strong
performances in this, their home state
championships.The Saturday program
will have teams practising at around 9:30am before aiming to position themselves
for the weekend by going all out in a 20 minute qualifying session shortly
before lunch. The feature event for sidecars later on Saturday afternoon
will be the seven lap first leg of what will be a three leg championship
challenge.Sidecar action on Sunday
will begin with a 10 min warm up. Later leg two (also 7 laps) will get
underway mid morning with the final leg of seven laps to be run mid
afternoon. While that already looks like a busy schedule for the competing
teams, there will also be a four lap sidecar handicap event late on the Sunday
afternoon to add to the spectacle for the
weekend.Pic enclosed: A shot from pit
