John,

Not wishing to add any pressure but the newcommers qualifying at 85mph is a piece of cake once you know where you are going...ok only done the TT a few times as a passenger but I am confident I could make this time myself as a driver.

After a few laps even a 90mph lap will seem fairly easy.

I have a few videos at home with TT laps on from a passenger platform...e-mail me and I will sort one out for you with pleasure!

If you are going to come to the Island for a look around, give me a shout and I will do a few laps with you and I am sure I can arrange some drivers to come round and give there perspective too.

Anyway let me know...btw is Gavin still racing these days?...last time I remember him being here I recall he shoved his shoulder half way down his pack in a hefty prang at Glen Helen??

Regards & Best wishes.

Fitz.
