As I got to kev's I could here the F1 on the dyno.The engine sounds sweet and all looks well.
I should get a run on it soon and plan to head off to Ireland as soon as they run a race.
Exelent news that skerries is ON so here we go again.
Norton road racing 2001

The Manx Grand Prix, I hope will not be canceled in the year 2001.The motor sport shop will be hopeing that as well.Seamus Greene who got hurt in the Nuts Corner that we hope will be able to get back to the Manx Grand Prix

Cargo is the winner with the first correct guess being Chris Blair. Cargo informs me the Yamaha is gone and Chris is riding a Classic now.

Hope Chris gets the Suzi as far as the scrutineering bay this year!

Barry Wood's guess was wrong, but it's someone that he and I both know (clue for Barry).
Cargo should get close (and half of campsite B) if I reveal that this rider was nicknamed Roger T.. M....... at 2000 Manx.......

Whats the chances of getting a proper,accurate
Whos-Who?list in the MGP programme this year?

It seems to have been compiled in recent years by people who havent got a clue about the sport, full of mistakes and false statements.Last year took the biscuit with next to no information about the riders at all.Dont tell me its anything to do with restriction of information laws because no-one has ever been compelled to contribute an entry, but 99% of riders do because everyone else does, thus keeping the Manx as the friendly,informal meeting it is.

I offered a couple of times to the MMCC to undertake the compilation of this item for the programme without any payment whatsoever,merely to have the satisfaction that it was done accurately and of interest to everyone.My offer wasnt pursued.

I want to know which town riders come from,what they do for a living,who has been riding in the Manx for 20 years,how many replicas,whose greatest achievement was drinking 25 pints on presentation night etc (or was that the Southern 100 Phil haha !)

More information like this gives me more database for quiz questions too,therefore theres more chance of quiz nights for racing related fund-raising functions.

My offer to compile the MGP Whos-Who? still stands.Id love to do it.Does anyone else thinkthat last years effort was even more rubbish than usual-or have I just spat the dummy over something trivial???

Okay guys,

First person to e-mail me with the right name to the following clues will get free wine in abundance at this year's Manx.

The person in question is a Manx rider who has been for two years, entering total of 3 races and starting only two.

More clues later

Alas,

The Mazda has been begging for retirement again. It lets me know it is tired by sucking 40 quids worth of fuel every 200 miles. With the portable bungalow on tow it is down to 50MPH.

Any body got a diesel Trany or similar for sale?

Let me know, no cash waiting

Gav

Charging onwards with an optimistic light, the preparation and practice for the Southern and Manx continues.(As does the home brew).
