Pulled off the mold for the rear part today. Kinda ugly as the resin seeped past the gel goat on one side (yellow wrinkles). It is a learning process. The second side looks pretty good. In all it is a usable mold. Now by the time I am pulling the final parts from the mold I should have learned by my...

Got the body plug where I want and the first half of the mold made. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdhw/Sidecar%20Scooter/IMG_3709.jpg Gel coat for mold. I screwed up on the first attempt as expected, trying to make each piece as a whole mold. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdh...

Bonneville Speedweek was cancelled for the second year in a row. Ugh!!

I will have plenty of time to get the new bodywork done and figure out how to make the turbo work....

Backing up a few steps, here are some pics from start of bodywork build to current. Right now I am finish sanding the body plug and will seal it tomorrow so I can make a fiberglass mold of it. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm17/chwdhw/Sidecar%20Scooter/IMG_3349.jpg http://i292.photobucket.com/a...

Proof of how slow I am

How did it like the n2o? It does really well for about 8-10 seconds then it tarts to ice up the reeds. This is due to the jet location between the manifold and the reeds. I found that I can bump the n2o for a few seconds on and off and it does fine, just not for long continuous runs. I may relocate...

Been extremely busy with work, but since the last post, I've been working on cleaning up some aero stuff on the scooter. Building a fairing that should help out a bit. Also picked up a sidecar wheel fairing from a Cessna 172 airplane that fits perfectly over the sidecar wheel. It's not Formula 1 but...

And we're nationwide...

I would highly recommend finishing up the welds all the way around. There is a lot of stress in those areas and you have open spots that should be 360 degree welded.

This is all the tuck I can get, with my belly stuffed into the leathers I can't bend over any further

What a fun weekend! Everyone at the track loved the little scooter with the funny looking sidecar. The starter called it Tripod and the tower announcer called it the Devil's Leafblower :smile: On Sunday we rigged up a comm system in my helmet and the tower announcer interviewed me live over the PA a...

Made 2.5 passes today. First run was so rich I could not get it up on the pipe so had to turn out. Next two runs set and reset the record to 46.5mph. Still running rich and pulling jets between runs. Thanks G9 for sending jet kit as it is very helpful. You can almost see the Scooter Swap Shop sticke...

Headed to Ohio this weekend for the ECTA standing mile land speed races and will be bringing the Sidecar Scooter to run. I spent the weekend riding around the country roads here and the scoot is very stable even on bumpy roads going ~50mph, with heavy crosswind. I've got about everything lined out n...

Looks nice. I like the pics of the whole process. Good for people to see a clean build
