I was just curious to see if this forum was open. Here is my sidecar I'm building to run at El Mirage dry lake in SoCal

El Mirage is about 2400 ft. We run May to November (except August). The air tends to be very dry and a bit thin. And we are running on dirt. The lakebed can vary geatly from year to year. This winter we have had very little rain and no one is expecting a great surface. Plus we are running with cars and they tend to chew up the surface pretty good.
I'm running VP C12 race gas. 108 octane and has a great kick. I was supposed to have the sidecar ready last year but didn't. I put the motor in my Norton to check it out and make sure I had put it together right. Its best run was 124.900. Today I have to mount the battery and it should fire up. Hopefully. Maybe. Then its finish up the alterations to the body and away we go. Heres a pic of the Norton with the sidecar motor at 125.
