@Roger9650 you may have a point there, back when the days were different red flags were a very rare thing if at all but at the same time we knew that waved yellows were very very serious and acted upon, the 1992 MGP Junior race was real and sad carnage, John Judge RIP hit the wall at Rhencullen, the bike's engine was sat by itself on the crest as I came through along with a load of bomb-like debris and it was waved yellows right back towards Douglas Corner for IIRC 2 laps while they sorted it out, Craig Mason RIP got tangled up with "Cudders" Cudworth on the narrow run through to Alpine, both bikes pinballing down the hedges and roadside while destroying themselves again waved yellows from Bishopscourt, a crash at Glentramman set the bushes on fire and a mate threw it down the road at the 33rd when his bike seized, it was a little subdued in places in the paddock when we finished but nothing seemed to stop the racing in those days - don't think it was the best way of doing things but as a rider we had no choice in the matter, maybe some riders think these days that only a red flag means it's serious ?, if that's the case then they need educating.
