I didn’t normally go to motorcycle events, but one day I happened to find myself marshalling at Brands on a day when there was a sidecar race.

I was wandering along the pit lane when I stopped to look at a combo sitting outside a garage. It struck me that the passenger handholds looked very inadequate. I realised the competitor was standing there looking at me gawping so I asked him, “just how hard is it to hang on in these things?”

I’ll never forget his answer.

A friend of my father's used to race in sidecar events, with his brother in the 'chair'. He was at Brands, in the days it they went anti-clockwise, and got a brilliant start. The combination accelerated better than ever and he went into the first corner, Clearways, at speed but he hadn't realised his brother had fallen off. He turned over of course without the balancing weight. He said that what really irritated him, apart from the fractured hip, was that everyone there: the spectators, the mechanics, the other competitors and, particularly, his brother, knew that he'd never make the bend and were just waiting for him to crash. He, on the other hand, was thinking he'd win the race.

Dirty pictures are always welcome yes
You might want to - as a gesture of respect to others - choose a camel toe over a pussy though.

Dont forget one pertinent rule. No photos depicting death or serious injury. (I'm assuming Dan Garlits go out ok).

It's Don, not Dan, and he lost a chunk of his foot, but he's still alive at 89 years of age, so it can't have done him that much harm.
