We are looking forward to welcoming you to the Manx Grand Prix in 2012, the most sporting races of the year. We are very pleased to announce our exciting race programme commencing with the 3 class Newcomers race and culminating on the final race day with the Classic Superbike & Junior Post Classic and Senior MGP races. We will be working very closely with the Department of Economic Development to deliver another successful event which will form the main part of the Manx Grand Prix Festival.

Below you will find some important information in respect of your entry in this year’s Manx Grand Prix:

Are you bringing the Goldie Ron, or were you (understandably) put off by last year?

David

Well... here is the first public announcement on me... last week I had major surgery.... I had Kidney Cancer... and less than an hour ago, I got home from the hospital....

BUT, if I am able and can find the funds... there is NO other place in the world I would rather be than on the IOM for the Manx...!!!

It also looks like I would need a rider, as Ago sadly is out for this year.... But I hope to see everyone there..!!!!

Cheers..!!

Good to see you are so positive in your posting, so often the postings by members of this forum are so negative. Hopefully you will be at the 2012 MGP.

Hi Ron,

I'm sorry to hear your bad news - wishing all the positive thoughts in the world your way for a full recovery!

If you are wanting to run a bike again, once you have had a bit more time to think about it, send me a PM and I can put you in touch with a few good guys, with classic experience that you might get on with!

I want to see as many classic entries as possible, but your good health is the most important thing.

Take care,

David

Sorry to hear about your recent illness Ron and I hope that you are feeling a lot better after your stay in hospital. Take care of yourself in recovery and just do what is right for you and no one else, as I know for myself it is the only way to go. Wishing you good health in the future and of course hoping to see you back across here for the Manx in the near future.

I'm sure that I speak for many people who know you Ron, and who have been unaware of your illness.

Malcolm

You guys are GREAT...!! When I learned of my ahem condition... well... I took an attitude.. I have loved the IOM, the people, and the MGP since my first visit in 2000... and the thought of not getting there again just goes against my grain, so to speak... Instead of saying woa is me.. or being depressed, I would dream of this summer's Manx... and all the wonderful people, of course. In fact, I took my small DVD player... and viewed my favorite 3 videos, MGP 2007, TT Circuit Guide, and of course, George Formby - No Limits... Talk about keeping my mind going forward..! Yes....

So, for all the pain, etc... it (to some degree) did not matter... being with all of you is what counts...

Amazingly enough.. my good pal Dave (went to the IOM 3 times with..) is the guy the drove me up and back to the hospital... I got home around 4 pm yesterday, and then last night we went in to the garage and pored over the Goldie racer... Dave gave me some good tips...

I really hope to make it this summer... that is my goal...!! I miss you all very much..!!

Cheers..!!!

Ron

Hi All..!!

OK, I now know of TWO Yanks that are serious about racing the MGP.. for next year... but at least one already has his airline tickets and accomodation for this year..!! I hope they both post here and introduce themselves.. Oh yes, both are named Bill...

I love it..!!!

Cheers..!!!

Ron

Remember entries close this Friday 5pm if you want to avoid the £25.00 extra charge.
