The sun is trying its hardest to shine through over Douglas, Greeba mountain coming into view now.

Glen Helen report is that conditions are excellent with clear blue sky.

The mountain is clearing quite well and hopefully the racing should get away on time this morning.

The race is delayed by 30 minutes due to traffic still on the road and an accident at Handleys.

A further 30 minutes delay for the start due to that accident at Handleys.

Chris Kinley - Chatting with Shaun Harris and he says "It's a fact of life, that when you are down, you are down, however I am still very hapy and looking forward to it today. It's what happens in the race and not in practice, and that was last week".

Ryan Farquhar - new clutch assembly installed this morning.

Moly - "Must be awful for these guys having to wait to go out, don't get too many delays in the sidecars and what we do get is mainly due to the weather. I still get as nervous now as I did when I was 16. It is just as bad for the Marshals and all the others associated to the running of the races".
