shaun hogg Wrote:Fair point Clucie , i think the point here is that they should have been told a lot earlier than now that there entries would not be accepted , i am by the way speaking about the sidecar crew here not the paddock clown who i think Russ was talking about in his post & i fully agree with your post Russ .
I am all for safety & with the speeds these guys are pushing now there can be no chance taken whatsoever .
I think maybe after last years TT the organisers should have taken Mr Boyd aside & told him to save the postage for this year or go classic in the MGP .

Hi Shaun, I think you are dead right but maybe should have accepted Wade under the reserve entry with a notification of this is your last year at the TT enjoy it. As for the sidecars its getting harder and harder, especially when the likes of Molly, nick and about 5 others are more than capable of putting in 110+ laps and then there is a gap in times. This makes it dificult under the Qualification % of the fastest time.

I also think that the ACU are putting themselves under pressure with the rules they have brought in about the Course license, which means entries have to be in as late as possible to allow license qualification.

I don't really have a solution unless overseas entries have a different deadline. Maybe November, but even then with travel the way things are this also maybe not time enough ... so when is?
