Joe Frickin' Friday Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 An acquaintance just sent me this picture, taken in the parking lot of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration outside Boulder, CO: Looks entertaining. Link to comment
upflying Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Look ma, no front brakes. Didn't find anything on Google for "Crazy Cuzins Racin". Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Look ma, no front brakes. Wow, didn't notice that! For racing sidecar rigs like that, do they put a brake on the third wheel? Link to comment
Chris K Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Whatever kind of racing it is used for it must be a short race based on the gas tanks. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm thinking it isn't much for seat comfort either. Link to comment
Bernie Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's a drag racer. It has a fat rear tire and a wing. Top fuel? Link to comment
roadscholar Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm thinking it isn't much for seat comfort either. Looks like it's the stock one.. Link to comment
upflying Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's a drag racer. It has a fat rear tire and a wing. Top fuel? A drag racing Airhead with the added weight of a side hack? Quarter mile must be in the high teens at 65mph. That's Yugo fast. If I had to guess, it's a Bonneville Salt lakes "SC" class racer. Passenger foot rests suggest riding flat on your belly. That's also on a $250 Harbor Freight trailer. Low budget racing, very cool. http://www.scta-bni.org/ Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 When I used to go to Mid-Ohio for Vintage Motorcycle Daye I used to see sidecar rigs set up for road racing, almost always boxers because the COG was nice and low. But I'll bet those all had front brakes... Link to comment
Daddoz777 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'm thinking it isn't much for seat comfort either. Ironically that "seat" is probably more comfortable than the stock nut-buster seat that came on my RT! Link to comment
Boffin Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looks like a grass-track sidecar racer to me. Four laps of a 1/4 mile oval track. Andy Link to comment
EddyQ Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 That's for storm chasing! Or to run away when being chased. Link to comment
markgoodrich Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Must weigh an awful lot, to have to use an electric winch to get it on that itty trailer. I think I'll do that to the GT, but with a comfy seat. Who wants to be my monkey? Link to comment

hink Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Headed to NHIS (former Bryar Motorsport PK) today. Know someone on the historic racing circuit that races one. Its a hoot watching them drift into the corners. Link to comment
