When we arrived, 37 fans, in a chartered plane from Sweden on Friday the 5th we went to the bottom of Bray Hill in the evening. That's standard always. Interesting to watch our rookies when the first competitors comes rushing down the hill. They always don't believe their eyes when they see the fantastic speed. This time sidecars came first. It has happened that people think that the trottle is stuck on full and that there will be a crash. They get used to the speed after a while!

I was in the press center many racing days but I was in Braddan Bridge on Superbike Race. Just one other spot this time and that was Bungalow on Superstock. Through the years I've been at many spots around the course at practice and race. For example Grandstand, St Ninian's, Ago's Leap, Glen Lough, Crosby, Ballacraine, Glen Helen, Ballaugh Bridge, Ballacrye Jump, Quarry Bends, Glen Auldyn Bridge, Schoolhouse, Parliament Square, Ramsey Hairpin, Tit Corner (just after the 25th), Gooseneck, Joey's, Guthrie's, Brandwell, Keppelgate, Kate's Cottage, Creg-ny-Baa, Hillberry, and Governor's. On my wishlist are Gorse Lea, Bottom of Barregarrow (if possible) and Ginger Hall.
