Its a very good letter, Cargo, unfortunately I think you would infringe the copyright by reproducing it here , lets just say it includes most of the points that have been made before about this licence and sums up by saying that it will make not one iota of difference to safety, and that the riders already accept the risks that they take anyway. Personally, I'm quite surprised that there hasnt been more in Classic Racer about this ACU con as, lets face it, its going to affect the Classic lads more than anyone else, I would imagine, as quite a lot of them are what Chairman Parker derisorily terms "Holiday Racers", but then, lets not forget that Chairman Parker, as far as Im aware in the 37 years that Ive been racing, and the vast majority of the ACU Road Race, Drag and Sprint Committee have never cocked a leg over a racing bike in the Isle of Man in their lives and would probably s**t themselves if they did so. By the way, in a past edition of Classic Racer it actually says who D ????? Carter is, the man on the ACU Road Race, Drag and Sprint Committee that I'd never heard of before, hes actually Dennis Carter who is, wait for it, Chief Executive of BARC ( British AUTOMOBILE Racing Club) who now own Mallory Park, Thruxton and Pembrey short circuits. So, what the f**k is a car racing bloke doing on a MOTORCYCLE racing committee, well hes actually been appointed to this committee by AMRCO (the Association of Motor Racing Circuit Owners)so thats another one on this committee with a vested interest in short circuits.
