Total number of American Riders in TT since 1907 ? - ian huntly - 09-05-2009
Can anyone let me know the grand total of American riders who have come over to the TT since 1907. I have De Rosier as being the first in 1911 and quite a variety of other names famous and less famous. Thomas Montana is on the list plus John Long and Wade Boyd and quite a few more.
USA claims the first all-lady (Wendy Epstein and Dawna Holloway) sidecar team, I believe, and Pat Hennen did the first sub 20 minute lap.
Dave Roper is the only American to win a TT.
I have listed them on two sides of A4 paper, with info, but still think I am missing one or two.
Indian (USA) motorcycles made it a 1,2,3 in 1911 as well.
Help please, I'll mention you in despatches !
