Post by: dwphotos on September 27, 2010, 06:41:18 PM: Congrats to Eddie Powell for the first 200 MPH sidecar run at Maxton!!! After a few 199 passes I knew he would soon be there.

Good Job Eddie!!!

Post by: roadracer on September 28, 2010, 09:15:41 AM: Fantastic job Eddie. It worked out well. You had a 199 party Saturday night and I'm sure the 200 celebration is still going on. You are proof that hard work pays off. Well deserved.

Post by: relaxedphit on September 28, 2010, 08:52:45 PM: Some people might be disappointed at going 199.975 and being that close to the big 2, but being a champion is celebrating every step, and you are a true champ. Pretty good for a 63 yr old man?

Post by: bak189 on September 30, 2010, 10:07:34 AM: You mean the sidecar outfit is NOT SAFE....."The bike don't go straight or stop straight"........OK...OK
I promise not to get into this again.........................................................................................
Title: Re: Congrats to Eddie Powell
Post by: relaxedphit on September 30, 2010, 12:24:02 PM: I would suggest that the bike doesn't prep itself, load itself, pay its bills, fuel,tech or pilot itself down the course and it "dodge" well doesn't stop itself. Precious few riders can and that might be part of why it is a new record.
Sorry I missed seeing you this past weekend Thomas, hope you feel even better for October. later, ken
