Pre-TT Classic Race Organisers Thank Michelle & Rowena - Malcolm - 03-06-2019 The Chairman & Directors of Southern 100 Racing, organisers of the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races would publicly like to thank ACU Road Race SecretaryRowena Perks and Assistant Road Race Secretary, Michelle Haynes for all their efforts in ensuring that competitors holding European Race Licences were able to obtain the required insurance and race in the event they had entered prior to a number of European FMN’s withdrawing insurance cover and start permissions. Race Secretary of the Pre-TT Classic Road Races, George Peach contacted both Rowena and Michelle, who spent a great deal of time contacting their European counterparts and colleagues and eventually secured the necessary insurance cover along with the start permissions required. The positive news provided much relief to the competitors who had travelled long distances to be on the Isle of Man, so that they could race in one oftheir main classic events of the year, in which they acquitted themselves with much credit. George Peach commented: ‘It costs every competitor a lot to come to the Isle of Man to race, even more so our European friends and with the late decisions by some FMN’s, if it wasn’t for Michelle and Rowena’s hard work and dedication to obtain a successful outcome, so that they could race, it would have been a very expensive and wasteful journey for them. ‘On their behalf and the organising Southern 100 Club, I cannot praise both enough for their dedication on our behalf and how much it is appreciated.’
