My first TT was in 93 and I went all through the 90's and we waited till '99 for a hard charging Jim Moodie to beat Foggys '92 lap record (on a what i was reliably informed was a qualifying tyre that had no chance of doing 2 laps).  These days the lap record goes every year and the competition these days is far and away above anything I ever saw.  Hard to comprehend at times.

I haven't checked it but the race radio said that Michael beat the race record by over 1 minute!
