Correct, I was in the Grandstand that year with a bunch of TT Virgins and we had all timed Joeys first lap and knew he had smashed the LR.
Dave Hiscock was off first, Geoff Johnson No2, Joey away No3, Charlie Williams was No5 (Tom) and Chas ended up touring, all dramatically reported by Peter Kneale.
Kevin Wrettom "borrowed" a spectators bike "complete with carrier" to return to the start after his race bike broke down and also people were walking down the road with crisps and Geoff Cannell stated" They wouldn't do that if they had been here last year (at Ballaugh) and saw Bill Smiths crash.

It's a great tape, recorded by me on a large portable T/R whilst in the grandstand so I have almost the full commentary but it is in "mono"....

I am now looking for more tapes from this era in the loft !!
