Back in the dark ages when I raced Loose Goose at B'ville the first time, I had to have a "dead weight" of (I think) 50 lbs.
Then I think the rules were changed to something like the weight on the sidecar had to be enough to assure proper handling (or something like that)
. Anyway, I have another sidecar motorcycle about ready to go to B'ville and the weight on the sidecar tire is probably only about 25 lbs w/fairing installed.
NOW FOR THE QUESTION: Talking with Kenny Lyon, he said that I have to have 150 lbs of "dead weight" on the sidecar wheel.
Is there a minimum/maximum weight that has to be on the sidecar wheel?
Will my sidecar streamliner (now in the design stage) have to have the 150 lbs weight on the tire 'to assure proper handling'? I don't have a current rule book. What does the new rule book say about siedcar weight?
