Well said Sticky, I have to accept the entry numbers you are quoting external to the TT, maybe those numbers would be improved with the one overall driving force (FIM?) and world championship status. I myself was totally disillusioned when I witnessed the 'scooter' entry at TT2010, it was simply not appropriate, and I am a huge fan of ZEV racing but there is a limit!

Reading race reports and reviewing images on line suggests the Laguna Seca field consisted of higher quality machinery overall, albeit smallish in numbers. One major player had to withdraw when their 'water cooled' electric motor lunched itself.

The chances of the TT (or anywhere for that matter) in the foreseeable future witnessing a 45+ field of ZEV machines is to say the least remote. Personally I doubt there will be a ZEV race at the TT in 2011 and that is a great pity really.
