MANX GRAND PRIX 2ND BEST
I really don't like the way the Manx Grand Prix is getting pushed out. As an ex MGP rider I have very special memories of the best 2 weeks of the year . We rolled up in an old bone shaker of a van, just like the majority of other riders, and for that next 2 weeks we were one big happy family, we all mucked in and helped each other, the way it's gone now is so different it's like a mini T T

RE: MANX GRAND PRIX 2ND BEST
Me too, I also have complained here and to the IOM Gov ( and much good it did me), but the MGP and the clubmen/women are being pushed out of what I always felt was the best club event of the year. Big bucks are spent on expensive replicas and presumably expensive TT stars to race them. There seems to be barely a nod to heritage, and while replica MVs sound marvellous, do we really want a re-run of the hollow victories of the Ago years? Is just winning all the TT stars want from MGP time?
I've said it on here before, so forgive me for repeating myself, IOMG want the MGP to wither on the vine, so they can cram the island over Bank Holiday and trouser a lot of money, in the shortest possible time, then bid the fickle so-called fans among the enthusiasts farewell until TT time next year, when they will again be invited to empty their wallets.
Fortunately, the club racers still apply, in large numbers, to race, so taking away from IOMG one possible excuse for killing the MGP outright.
