....so, why not put the Manx on in JUNE and transfer the TT to August.........Value for money that way round !!!

The whole package sounds good to me.No more TT proddy riders allowed in the Manx,retain the 125/400 class,etc.Brilliant,what more could we ask for?Great news

Well, looks like they have got at least one brain cell between the lot of them !!!!!!!!

No, we don't want the Manx in June! Cr4p weather!
Seriously though, this is fantastic news for motorcycling on the Island - the only time we can see 400s, 125s and 250s. Plus the legendary classics of course. Excellent!

Brilliant news! But, somehow I suspect that our dear Witch knows more than she is letting on. She's been very busy with her spell book LOL!!
Can you do one for the lottery, please????

Many thanks to the MMCC, the Island will retain some variety, different sizes, different sounds and different smells.
One thing Geoff says is "In contrast to the TT, the organisers of the Manx Grand Prix.....".
I think this is an excellent concept, to maintain a clear contrast between the events.
Re: Manx Grand Prix : Two Strokes and 400's - Anonymous - 04-08-2004
A very good overall package.
Thanks MMC for "listening".
I have never ben able to make it to the MGP but now who knows..............?
Re: Manx Grand Prix : Two Strokes and 400's - Anonymous - 04-08-2004
I agree, great news!
I may well consider visiting for the MGP instead of the TT in the next year or two (although I haven't been over since 1998).
Re: Manx Grand Prix : Two Strokes and 400's - Anonymous - 04-08-2004
So,who really needs the TT anyway?Good weather,friendly scruts,friendly competitors,2 strokes-----visit the Manx GP and see the "real road race competitors".Brilliant.CU all in less than 3 weeks
Re: Manx Grand Prix : Two Strokes and 400's - Anonymous - 04-08-2004
Sounds good. Looks like my planned visit to the TT some time in the future (just one more before moving on to the Paddock above, lol) I just may do the Manx instead. I'm really happy for you all as this thread sounds so positive.

Gail, I would realy love to be there with you all but I am stuck in Saudi Arabia for a few months.
2005 is a possibility (Thinks...I had better start working on it now).
Does the Steam Racket Co. charge the same fares as for the TT period?
