I had this e-mailed to me by Geoff Cannell but it specifically asks for the opinions of riders and entrants in writing to Harvey Garton. I'm neither an entrant or rider but I am an arch enthusiast and photographer/scribbler for my local paper on all things motorsport, so I shall certainly express an opinion. Golden opportunity guys, so don't waste it!

I would suggest scrapping the Newcomer's race and perhaps instigate awards for the first 3 newcomers in whichever race they're in. In it's place I'd suggest a post-classic race. Tridents, Commandos, TZs of all sizes, RG500s etc.

I'd also consider allowing ex-TT guys to ride 250s specifically (not the likes of Lougher & Palmer) but riders such as Bud Jackson, who will probably be there anyway and would probably love a run on a 250. I'd also allow ex-winners of the 250 back in (Steve Kuenne, Gavin Bell etc) basically to keep the numbers healthy in the class and promote some close racing within it.
