I may have some blurry memories of things as i am entering the age of dementia but I thought that was the case?

Used to be the case(I think - getting on myself here) that if you won the MGP you couldn't enter again or couldn't enter MGP if you had raced previously at the TT but there was an odd exception if you had only raced in the TT proddy races and I think you were still allowed to enter the then Classic races if you had won the Lightweight, Junior or Senior. These days it's all different, my late mate Neil Kent won the Lightweight on a TZ250 and was allowed to return the year after where very sadly we lost him. I think these days the restrictions are less if at all as not everybody who wins wants to race at the TT and the trail and days of winning @ The Manx before you go to the TT are gone.
