I am aware of the chance of jokes here, but There has been interest in having more of the sidecar races turned into handicap events. What do other outfit riders think?
John Daley Sidecar #68 ' there are those who do, those who dont do and those who undo. We must lampoon the latter."
I think it depends on the speed differential between fastest and slowest. On speedway they used to handicap Terry Rooney a full lap behind the slowest, he'd still lap the whole field. After he was killed the enthusiasm for handicap races on speedway waned. Handicap races are a great crowd pleaser, and to a certain extent that's very important. It all comes down to 'duty of care'. I suggest you will have to monitor your races, and tell the guys how the handicaps will be managed, at the riders briefing.
