A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED
I thought the 100th year was going to really something special on the TT course, but alas it is the same old format, as in recent years
I was hoping that to celebrate this special year, a 3 or 4 lap Classic Race could have been arranged, to see the bikes of yesteryear, being raced again in anger, like they did in 1984. I also suggested a 10 lap production race, 2 riders per machine, like they did in the 1970s.
I did contact the powers to be with my suggestion last year, but recieved no reply.
I always watch the Lap of Honour and Classic Lap, but i felt last years event was the worst ever, due to the entry being sent off in batches, taking away the whole excitement of the noise and smell of the machines lining up on the start line.
Most probably, the 130mph lap will be achieved, but thats all the 100th year will be remembered for, apart from the island sinking a few feet with the weight of all the bikes and people, and the over pricing of accomadation, food, merchandise etc, as the island makes a killing, which is bound to happen for this special year.
