Andrew has added some extra views, some on my recommendation especially the Cronk-y-Voddee..
I'm already doing laps to find subjects for articles etc, running through some well worn video tapes of the Douglas Bay hotel of the Bill Smith/ Robert Cox (Renolds Chains)/ Alan Dugdale/ Family Haslam era I took myself and of the course with the camera on the roof of my car.
Youtube has a lap by Steve Hislop which is now stored on my desktop so it can be run whenever.
Looking forward to seeing Shaun, cheeky beggar, he's been in the white car a few times. It was a struggle coming out of Ramsey one year with Shaun, Doug Randall and on top of that, two pals who totalled at least 40 stone !
Add to that the weight of me, Doug and Shaun, a roofrack of racing tyres, a bootful of tools and parts.....Well I can see why he thought it was not, or was not capable of doing a nippy lap !! But on a good day POO it wasn't !!!

I'm trying to persuade the Museum people to devote some space to the 50th anniversary of the 100mph lap. They are getting a nice piece of memorabilia from someone across here, and I am sure I could get more. If they don't have space...where else could we do this? The Hydro used to be a "Scottish" base...where is now?

Wasn't this the lap which was originally credited to Geoff Duke in 1955 ??
Those among us, who are very cycnical. still wonder if in those days things were truly accurate enough to say 100 mph had or had not been accomplished...
Were they trying to hang on ?
1957 was after all the 50th year and 50 x 2 is 100 !!!
We are looking at all the angles !
Bob McIntyre deserved to receive the accolade but I bet Geoff even now, still feels robbed..............
