Sidecar 2013 Season Opener at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway
Well the season has kicked off and there is a lot to talk about, but little time to talk about it. We began this season with no major changes. Actually, we made NO changes at all besides the fuel and oil, come to think of it. The budget is already tight going into this and [...]
First Person: Team Johnny Killmore Season Finale 2012
I have no idea why I keep putting off a write up of the final race of 2012. I assume that I just “closed shop” in my mind and have been ignoring sidecar racing as much as possible for the last month or so. The event was rather forgettable from my perspective, but it was [...]
Sidecars At Miller Motorsports Park
Labor Day weekend is probably the biggest event on the SRA-West racing calendar each year. Miller Motorsports Park is a first class venue. AHRMA is a national vintage racing club that hosts the event, bringing in crowds of people who love quirky machines, sidecars included. The East Course is short and fairly tight, but it [...]
AMA Flat Track is Depraved, And That’s Just How It Should Be
I have never understood oval racing. I get that fans want to be able to see the race and an oval layout allows for that, but I don’t get why a fan would want to watch people race on an oval in the first place. The one exception is when the oval isn’t paved. Suddenly, [...]

Pikes Peak 2012: Part 2. Race Day.
Saturday before race day is a chance to put the final touches on the machine. We had very little to do besides install the 20lbs. of ballast and clean the bike up. The My Life At Speed gang had a small get together and we were able to attend. It was great to be able [...]
PIKES PEAK 2012: Part One
Why is your gut that thing that tells you to do stuff you’re not sure about, but when you finally do it, your gut is the one thing that won’t quiet down? This is the kind of stuff that goes through my head as I sit on pre-grid for the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill [...]
Corsa Moto Classica: Round 2 in the Sidecar Season.
Corsa Moto Classica: Round 2 in the Sidecar Season. – by Johnny Kilmore. This was possibly our most successful outing at “The Fastest Road In The West,” Willow Springs International Raceway. The funny part is, we had some serious hurdles to overcome at the same time. The main problem we ran into was gearing. When [...]
First Two Races In The Books.
Well the first two races of 2012 are in the books. I was literally putting the final touches on the bike minutes before putting it on the trailer. The tail section could not be painted in time, so it went to battle with a fresh coat of black primer. The last minute antics would continue [...]
