A wide variety of sidecars
contested the four separate races however the final five lap race provided
some of the best dicing between Doug Chivas/Matthew McKinnon (Yamaha TZ750
power) and Barry Horner/Chris Dinuzzo (Irving Vincent 1300 power).
The Chivo's Motorcycle Tyre
entry won the overall Sidecar event, however the sound of that highly tuned
Irving Vincent attracted a lot of attention.
SIDECAR PIT IMAGES:
Selected images from the sidecar pit garages. From a technology perspective many
of the sidecars were definitely not overshadowed by their solo counterparts.
#888:
BARRY HORNER/CHRIS DINUZZO - 1978 IRVING VINCENT SIDECAR 1,300cc:
As if the solo
Irving Vincent's weren't enough, the team's sidecar is also a work of art, great
stuff.
