Yet another day of awesome entertainment at Whanganui's Cemetery Circuit. Thanks to all involved for making it happen and congratulations to those in the top 3. Malcolm and Ailie had to run the legs off #611 and use all the defensive tactics they could muster as they battled it out with Sidecar Spencer #35 in the last race. Great fun and plenty of banter after the racing - just the way we like it!

Yet another great weekend racing at Levels in Timaru for the CAMS Southern Classic Festival. Team MCD looked a little different this time around with Louise Blythe stepping in to swing for Malcolm after Ailie was unable to get time off work. This was Malcolm's first time racing without Ailie on the side and we were very grateful for Louise's expertise and willingness to join us...flying all the way from Australia! Darren Pate did us proud, successfully defending the North v South challenge on behalf of the sidecar family. As usual, there was some great competition on the track followed by banter and laughs off the track. Many thanks to the event sponsors, organisers, flag marshals and all who made this such an outstanding event. Roll on Boxing Day!

Great to be back at Taupo track for the winter race meet. It was a mixed bag for MCD Team Racing with mechanicals seeing us sidelined for most of Saturdays races.
Hats off to Malcolm for his cool as a cucumber persistents in chasing gremlins...and circling back to where he possibly should have started...to get back on track for the last race for Saturday!
As usual, fantastic racing and banter on and off the track between front runners and those chasing the points, to the teams just happy to keep their chairs on the track and running!
See you all at Manfeild in 4 weeks.

Someone was laying down some rubber...I heard them before they came into view!

Yet another fantastic weekend of racing at Manfeild for the APS Classic Festival. A touch of rain, hail, wind and then finally sunshine didn't seem to dampen the spirits with a huge turnout of riders and spectators for Sunday.
As usual, a big thank-you to all who made this happen. Lots of thrills, the occasional spill but mostly great battles within the sidecar field.
Malcolm and Ailie were thrilled to come away with 3rd place for the weekend - largely thanks to the reliability of 611 - and the willingness of the sidecar fam to rally into action when there was a wee fuel pump issue.

Amateur photographer capturing moments in time of people, places and things that pique my interest. If you discover yourself in an image feel free to share it with your friends and family.

Thanks to the Sidechair community and all the organizers for another fantastic weekend of racing.
Smiles all round from the MCD Team coming away with a 3rd overall.
Our wee chair had the legs run off it!
