I'm occasionally bored, and wander off to the other TT website, and check out the banter and gossip. I soon go back to preferring to be bored. What a load of nonense and back biting drivel. Is it me? However, I DO wish that more folk entered into the spirit of this good hearted and well meaning website, and offered some useful input into the future of the Manx,and of course the TT. I'm quite sure the TT will be around for a good few years, but the Manx, well I'm not so sure. It will need some good brains to help it out, and piece together a revised programme, otherwise there's trouble ahead.
One thing for starters, apart from the content of the programme, I think it's time for the Senior to go back to Thursday, so that with a postponement, it could be run on Friday. It astonishes me that the MMCC had no plan to run the event on Saturday. Had I been a Senior runner, and prepared my RG500 all through July and August like I used to do, I would have been spittin' feathers! the response of the riders to the cancellation has been extremely mild and well mannered in my opinion. There was a fair backlash with regard the Lightweight lap reduction, but hardly a murmur on the Senior cancellation. For instance, do the Senior riders have their entry fee returned? What's the regulation say with regard abandonment of the meeting, cos' I bet the huge legal content of the MMCC committee will have that one covered!
