14:45 - McGuinness Comments
John has been out in the parade lap and when asked by Chris Kinley what the conditions are like,
he said that in his opinion it is too dangerous to run the Senior because of the damp patches all around the circuit.
Keith Amor, stated that if John says no, then there is no chance he is going out.
Guy - Even Brian Reid says he wouldn't race in this, so whatever John decides, then I'll go with that.
Steve Mercer - If them boys don't want to go out, I won't go out.
Mark Miller - I'll go with whatever they recommend. We should stick together on this.
