I hear what you are saying , and i agree with the points you are making , but and this is a big but , the cancelation of the TT in 2001 was in my opinion of huge significance for the TT in as much it was proved that the TT is not needed in order for the Island to survive...people saw that by pushing other attractions and investing in upgrading hotels etc that the Ilse of Man is something more than the TT races , and this is my point , if people dont start to work together be it racers or organisers and it becomes a war of words every year like this year, the IOM TT races will become in danger of self destructing
