Possible Class for TT 2008 - irishago - 15-06-2007
Well how about a Twins Triples and Singles Class .I think it is one way to go all you had to do is look at Mark Millars results from TT 2007 on a European Twin. When you list the Manufacturers who produce Twins Triples and Singles their are quite a few . Ducati . Aprillia . Mondial . BMW . KTM . Triumph . Honda . Kawasaki . Yamaha . Suzuki . Buell . CCM . Voxan . Hyosung . they are the only ones i can remember at this time. As i said in an erlier post you could split them into to 2 classes.
Class one for Unlimited Twins up to 1450cc with Triples to 1000cc and Class 2 for Twins to 750cc with Triples to 675cc and 900cc Singles let them run after market Chassies and the like it would be like a prototype class or call it Extream Twins Triples and Singles just a thought for now..... cheers Irish Ago...

I totally agree with you Ago, but I can see a certain amount of opposition to the concept from the "big" manufacturers who might see a break in the monopoly, which has been the Jap way, not acceptable .
Plus how much more practice would we need..
Great suggestion though and perhaps we need to put this forward officially to test the water...What do you think Nick ???

I dont think there would be any need for more practice as most of the Big Twins and Triples would be capable of lapping in excess of 107+ mph and thats qualifying time for Supersport and Superstocks so i think it would be very possible you could let Bikes run that are not holomagated for WSB or BSB so it would make for a very interesting race if it where to come to it..........cheers Irish Ago......

This is a great idea that needs exploring further....

Great idea, but as i have stated on a previous thread, i would like to see a ten lap production race, 2 riders, 1 machine, as for me the 4 lap Superstock Race, is not really a challenge for the hi-tec modern machinery of today, but ask them to do 10 laps may ask a few questions on machine reliabilty.

Already done Ian. I met with Paul Philips at the TT and one of the things we talked about was twins & triples. No promises of anything at this early stage but no doubt Paul will fill us in if and when the time comes.
