Hmmm, I suspect that may be just outside the maximum width regulation...?

Mines got a fat bloke driving it. Put one on the side and we'd have so much downforce we'd have sparks.

The front wings look scary. They are bolted to a standard mudguard and at some point the mudguard will flex enough to touch the tyre, probably a fast point of the track. The rear looks cool though, good for quarter mile runs I think.

The Guy who built it wouldn't make a mistake like that (Rodger Freeth)

Has anyone done Wind tunnel testing on sidecar bodywork?

I know they did when they went for the Sidecar landspeed world record which then went out the window when the canopy wasn't ready in time

During the 70's several riders put rear wings on outfits here in the states. They would attach to the chair and be a meter plus above the ground, kind of looked like a dragster. I never liked them, they looked like they would get in the way and no one I know who used them ever went any faster! Have to see if I have a pictures.
