Title: Summit Point Aug25-26...Sidecars Question
Post by: Trussell on August 15, 2012, 01:55:32 PM
Hello

First off, thank you to everyone for supporting CCS and Summit Point

I have a few questions about the side cars/carts

1. How many normally show up? 

2. Would any side car riders/passengers be willing to let me put a Go Pro camera on their helmet?  Im sure Summit Point would look different from this view.

Thanks and Good Luck
Travis

There were six sidecars in NJ earlier this year.  So probably the same ones will show up a Summit Pt.

I don't think they would have a problem mounting a camera.  Mounting it to the sidecar would probably be better though.  When I went around as a passenger I had a small camera on my helmet and the angle ended up way off because of always moving around.

I've got a gopro bracket on my fairing and dont own a camera! You're welcome to try one on there. Depending on how you point it it can capture the track in front of you, or the passenger working.
look for the yellow #21, my name is bill

Hey Bill! One of our part time corner marshalls/photog got a pretty good pic of you :)

We always enjoy having the side cars there at Summit; though I have to admit as a safety crew worker my heart doesn't stop racing the entire time you guys are out there!  Were you #21 back in 2009 with a silver car?????

Great shot, thanks! Mind if I add it to my folder?

I did have a different bike in 2009 with the same #21. Did we ride together at lunch time?
We were hoping to do cornerworker rides this year but the lunch schedule never allowed. We hope to be there again next season so we'll keep our fingers crossed!
Thanks

YES! I was the one scared to pieces of the side cars and decided to try to conquer my fear! Greatly appreciated the ride! I felt like I was going so fast and then I see the pics...  :lmao: .  The photog that took those pics is a hobbyist so she'd be fine with you taking that pic; just make sure you leave the watermark if you use it anywhere :) :).  Great meeting all of you and hope to see you guys again next year!!!
