You can expect much, much more to come from Oxide on this (we intend to open source more or less everything we’re building), but for a teaser of the scope, you can see it in the work of Oxide engineers: see Cliff’s blog, Adam and Dave’s talk on Dropshot, Jess on using Dropshot within Oxide, Laura on Rust macros, and Steve Klabnik on why he joined Oxide. The short answer from an Oxide perspective is that Rust has proven to be a really good fit - remarkably good, honestly - at more or less all layers of the stack. But on the other, we hadn’t yet started to build in earnest, so it was really more pointed question than assertion: where might Rust fit in a stack that stretches from the bowels of firmware through a hypervisor and control plane and into the lofty heights of REST APIs? On the one hand, the name was no accident - we saw Rust playing a large role in our future. So well one might ask: how is Rust after the honeymoon?īy way of answering that, I should note that about a year ago (and a year into my relationship with Rust) we started Oxide.
Of course, a relationship with a technology is like any other relationship: as novelty and infatuation wears off, it can get on a longer term (and often more realistic and subdued) footing - or it can begin to fray. You can PM me, or get me on 07966575182 or nice old one of Derek Wood and Tony Price (then Triumph mounted) admiring Dale Ward's 8-valve example 1970.Two years ago, I had a blog entry describing falling in love with Rust. Club racing is just as interesting to me as nationals and the like and it’s not a chronicle of race results which are important, but your more general recollections and memories of the bikes, competitors, period, etc. If there are any of you out there who ran a BSA twin (quite a lot I would have thought!) I’d be interested to hear. And with photos, those showing someone hitting things with a hammer in the paddock are as (more?) interesting as actual track shots.ģ.
BRYAN RUST MOUSTACHE MAC
Photos – I’ve been fortunate in getting photos of most of the ‘names’ but have a few blanks – Mac Hobson, Bill Crook, Pat Sheridan, the Hardy brothers (as I think they were on an A65 before the Imp?) and oddly Pete Krukowski (incidentally on Pete any photos from the CRMC period would be as useful as from the ‘60s/70s).
As such has anyone got a number for either, or can put me in touch with someone who does? I know they’re Skegness way, or thereabouts, but have come to a dead end! Bryan got lots of really good results late ‘60s so I really don't want to miss him off.Ģ. I have various phone numbers for Bryan Rust (and his son Colin) but have never been able to get through to them, so presume they’re wrong. But can anyone help with additional information?ġ. The book’s based almost entirely on direct quotes, interviews and period pictures and, as well as those mentioned above, I’ve talked to Chris Vincent (obviously), Stuart Digby, Ken Vogl, Eddie Wright, Pete Krukowski, Tony Price (Derek Wood’s passenger), Martin Davenport and Mick Horspole (the later two as they put a few across the BSA boys). Of which sidecar racing was obviously about 90% of it. As a side project though I’m producing a book on the BSA Unit twins (A65/50) which will have extensive coverage of the racing. If you’ve seen it, any sidecar coverage over the last few years (which is unfortunately minimal - ”there’s no appetite”) will have been from me – Nigel Rollason, Peter Brown, Hanks family, etc (Mick Boddice coming soon). Partly as I write for Classic Racer magazine among others. I’m not a sidecar racer but ‘am a regular visitor to the site and love it. And first up apologies for the ‘essay’ below.
