i saw a piece on the IOM online web page re plans for a short circuit on the IOM any body got any info and ie this the start of the plan to just have a short circuit and not the mountain course

I saw a statement that said the intention is to comlpliment the TT course, not replace it!
It depends whether you believe this or not!
There has been talk of a short circuit for years. Didnt Geoff Duke get involved some time ago?
Personally, I would welcome a short circuit, but can the Island afford to build and support something worthwhile?

Wouldn't it essentially be for locals' use? Unless it was also to replace the Southern 100.

NOTHING could replace the Southern100. What an absolutely awful thought.

.....the Steam racket trying to get the World Superbike or Moto Gp circus there and back in little more than a weekend?

HO HO HO!

I heard that Jurby was to be developed into a bone fida short circuit course, to supplement the road mountain circuit.
