RE: Age limit change
Ha Ha Larry! You, Ken Inwood, Joe Thornton and Don Padgett were names that rang a bell regarding the age limit.
Just shows how life changes.
A 46 year old had the outright TT lap record until this year. What was the thinking all those years ago that deemed a 40 year old too old to ride the TT course in the Manx?
If they followed that ruling today, the entry would be down by 75%, and that's just the modern classes.
I remember the great Phil Read (and he was a GREAT rider), riding in the 1998 Classic Manx, finishing about 15th. I remember thinking that he was pretty old. Ooops! I'm way past that!
