    So Cal Hooligan Scene Report

    Sideburn contributor Ed Subias sent this great hooligan update. Last Saturday, 1st February, some of the Californian hooligan racers came together at a race that was more of a low key test and tune session than a competition.

    What's Happened to Bryan Smith?

    The 2016 champion was missing from the So Cal Half-Mile on Saturday, the second race he, or his team, have decided to sit out this season. Giving the Super TT a swerve was somewhat understandable if they were struggling, and they seem to be. Bryan Smith's weakest discipline are TTs, but missing this half-mile was harder to fathom. Smith is well known to be a mile specialist, but in his title-winning season he scored a first, second and fourth at half-mile tracks. He did fail
