Thanks Paul for your comprehensive and positive answer to our comments.

I agree with all you say except for one major issue...

The small (30%) of fans you mention have, over the years have "SOLD" the TT to the rest, (I know I have personally done much to promote it), and unless the fans go back home each year enthusing about what they have seen and done on the Island, I'm afraid that totals may dwindle as a consequence.....

I really look forward to the 2007 TT but will, like the rest of the 30%, be visiting as part of a nostalgia "trip" and we hope to relive some of our past acquaintance with the TT..........

I had hoped you would have one mock morning practice, a mock "weigh-in" and a few other blasts from the past to show people how it has all developed.

No, I don't expect an 8-lap race like 1957 but I do hope there is a lot more TT-orientated items for us all to enjoy and perhaps less of the inconsequential filling.

Don't forget the Clypse Course, it was also part of the 100 years of the TT !!!

SEE YOU ON THE ISLAND !!!
