Information about Kerr
On release from hospital I have returned to work with Scottish Water and focussed on getting back to racing. With help and encouragement from fellow members of the Scottish Sidecar Club I travelled to Ireland to buy a 1997 Windle Formula 1 chassis into which I have put a Suzuki GSXR 1000 K4 engine. This chassis originally competed in World Championship rounds. The sidecar has been modified to change gear with a Kliktronic quick shifter and brake with a lever mounted on the bars. This set up works exceptionally well is much admired by my fellow drivers. I am the first British paraplegic sidecar driver to be granted an ACU licence and hope to inspire others in my position to take up the sport.

Information about Jen
My name is Jenny McCallum and I am 34 years old. I was first introduced to sidecar racing when Kerr took up as a passenger in 2002 and I went along to work as pit crew. When he decided to go back racing after his accident he asked me if I would passenger him. I was a little apprehensive at first as I had only ever had a wee shot now and again. I was used to driving a sportsbike but sold my GSXR 1000 after Kerr had his accident as I couldn't see myself going out to play without him, this was just the thing to replace that buzz. Our first season was hectic but I think learning to drive the lorry was more nerve wracking than being a passenger. There are a few lady passengers in the paddock and I can definately recommend it as an exciting way to participate in motorsport.
