Sidecar Promo Videos

Just amassed a few videos from the past season and wanted to share them. One is the official SRA-West 2012 promo (the series I normally race with) which we make several appearances in. Second is a video a stand-in passenger, Nathan Urbanovsky, made from some practice footage on a helmet mounted Go Pro at the Las Vegas Classic Course. Gives a fair I idea of how manic it is as a passenger.... Read More

My Life As A Monkey: Sidecar Passenger Giorgina Gottlieb Reflects On 2011

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 hear her perspective. Check it out: I’ve... Read More

Sidecars At The Streets: SRA-West Round 11

This past weekend was the penultimate round of the 2011 calendar. We went in about 40 points behind for driver points, and Gina sitting 6th in the passenger standings. This locks up the driver championship for Bill Becker, and it would take a crash or mechanical for the top of the order to move around. The plan was the same as usual though; get as close to Becker as possible, and... Read More

Viva Las Sidecar: 3-Wheels Take On Sin City

The Classic Course outside the oval at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a and extremely tight, flat affair with only 9-10 corners. It features one high-speed right turn and the rest of the course is more or less a wide go-kart track. This means the passenger is busy and as driver, I am at a disadvantage (my better performances are in high-speed turns). Once again host club WERA (www.wera.com)... Read More

Live Life With Velocity – Utah.

Finally I can sit down and write about our latest race in Utah. This was the first time back on a race course since April, and our first time on the bike since Pikes Peak in June. Measuring the frame showed the steering geometry was off from the last time we set it, and we could not find a reason why. This time we put the steering near zero, which should make it lighter steering... Read More

Sidecar Racing At Pikes Peak: Two Men, One Mission.

Team Johnny Killmore is a road racing sidecar team. Driver John Wood first raced in the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb as a passenger in 2009. In 2010 he would take to the course as driver on a vintage motocross-styled sidecar with passenger Giorgina Gottlieb. With the pavement being added each year, 2011 was the first time he brought his Formula 2 spec road-racing sidecar to... Read More
