RE: A question for the classic boys
Unless I am mistaken it is the ACU, not the MMCC that is in charge of the rules... From everything I have seen, the MMCC is top notch.. and try hard to include as many racers as possible...
I guess I am agreeing with you, as we can also say that the rules change also ran the costs up.. they go hand in hand. Plus there are at least a few of the more "mature" racers that did not want to take the more stringent physical exam (they have their reasons).. And in some countries it is difficult to find "acceptable" race meetings...
There are lots of obstacles, but please remember that these rules were implemented to try and reduce accidents. Whether they do or not is not for me to determine. However, the more track time does suggest that a racer would be sharper...
The good news, is that I just learned that two former MGP racers (that did not race last year) are trying to get their TT Course license so they can race next year.. that is two more..!! And I am in contact with two racers here in the states that are trying to get the money needed to come and race as Newcomers...
I know that is not a lot, but two more here, and two more there...
Lastly, I am glad to hear of people already making preparation for next year's Manx..!
Cheers..!!

Entries suddenly dropped, in all classes, by approx 50% in 2006, it therefore follows that "something " must have happened at the end of 2005 to make this happen. The MMCC have been told many times what the problems are but have always adopted a "We dont really want to know that" attitude.
