Team Thompson Racing’s First Junior Speedway Sidecar Build
Project Description
In 2015, Team Thompson Racing set out to receive funding and support to build a junior speedway sidecar that will promote junior sidecars all over Australia. In 2016, we are aiming to complete this project. There are quite a number of different components when building a complete sidecar from scratch, including frame design, front end design, ground clearance, length and width of the bike, engine, exhaust system, fuel system and cooling system, just to name a few.
