Very valid point, Jack........my proposed 2007 sidecar rules to BUB state in the last sentence:
"The ballast/weight to be determind at the Tech. Inspection by placing a approved scale under the sidecar wheel "
However, in my conversations with the various
International Landspeed Org. in other parts of the world..........they weigh the complete sidecar without the ballast.....then weigh the complete sidecar outfit again with the ballast.........and look for the difference. This is due to the fact THEIR rules allow you to put the 60kg any place you so chose. I cannot see
SCTA/BNI getting a large scale to weight the few sidecars running.......I am taking small steps at a time, however, checking the weight
at the sidecar wheel can be done, but we would have to state that the 132lbs has to be mounted n the sidecar!!!!! thanks Jack
