I also believe that the main reason behind the lack of classic entries is the IOM course licence. Most riders in the classics do it for fun after all, and are happy enough just to ride the course and improve on their last years times and maybe go fast enough to get a replica. How stupid is it that a one day meeting at Lydden gets one signiture, a 2 day meeting at Lydden gets them one signiture, yet he can do 10 laps of practice on the IOM at the previous years Manx, do 3 laps of the race, break down at Gosvenors on the last lap and get NO signiture! A rediculous state of affairs! Good old ACU, eh.
