Personally, I think it is money more than anything that is causing these problems.

However you battle the rules, make allowances for this and for that..it always comes down to one thing..money - who can afford what. As steve says he is pushing the rules..as everyone has the opportunity too.. but that costs and not your average bloke can do that.

I couldnt care less about whether Linsdell and Farquar are on a slightly oversized tyre.. fact is..they probably would get round 6 secs slower if it was legal..and I am not saying it was illegal..I am hypothesising - if in fact that is a word !

All I am saying..is I think money is destroying it...

I am manx ...I have dreams..or rather..had.. now I see TT stars getting paid by sponsors good money and very good money to ride their almost factory backed bikes that are out of the league for the everyday person..(and the everyday person effectively, equates to the majority of the field of every classic race.)

My point is..you cant blame the people for doing what they are doing.. the fact is money is behind it all.

Unless you change that fact.... then it will continue. That lies with the organisers.

Sorry if I offended anyone.
