None I hope. If Mark Higgins Subaru had got even further out of control on Bray, I hate to think of the consequences.

I "heard" that a Soap Box Derby has been considered, to be run between races----- Part one (Monday) down Bray Hill to Quarter Bridge, Part Two (Wednesday) from Kates to Signpost, then Part Three (Friday) from Gooseneck back down to Ramsey. The Soap boxes will be set off at ten second intervals. After the Friday Derby the points will be added up from all of the "Three Legs" and the trophies awarded before the Senior Motorcycle Race!!

I am not sure whether this is true or it is the result of the after-effects of a bad prawn and I was dreaming !

Or is it the NEW Manx Grand Prix ???

Ian, Now that sounds far more interesting than Subaru's trying to go fast !

Concentrate on the TT and forget this tangential stuff !! We are there to see a TRADITIONAL ANNUAL EVENT....There is no need to add even more stuff onto a great two weeks festival. I can't get round half the other events nowadays. Trim the programme to TT related subjects !

Can you see Winbledon tennis having a chappy in a Subaru driving fast round Henman Hill ??
Or players from Gaelic Football playing a demo match on the Centre Court ??

Does ANYBODY know what is going to try to set a record this year...It is being kept low profile....Any news over there please

Ian-what you have wrote is excellent, the TT is a motorcycle event, not a car race.
Imagine at the FA Cup Final if they introduced a famous Rugby Football player at halftime, can you imagine the reaction from the football fans, and vice versa.

I still shudder at the thought of that image.
