.After 68 years of TTFan-ship can anyone positively confirm the actual site of Clarks Corner please....................

I agree with you. It's a very good spot for spectators. I've been there with my camera 2007. There are a couple of shots from that spot in my collection from 2007. Here: http://siljascentenarypics.blogspot.se/ at page two and three.

The 27th of September 2007 Clark's Corner was mentioned for the first time on the thread TT course knowledge at the "old" site by nick name "Smiler" who wrote "For a bonus point, can you tell me where Clarks Corner is? I hadn`t heard it mentioned in years `til t`other night and being a Clarke i`m rightly proud of it!"

Nick name "Kestrel" wrote the same day "I believe Clarks Corner is the right hand bend leading into Keppel Gate, not 100% sure though."

The day after "Larry Devlin" wrote "Nearly, Kestrel! "Clark's was the lefthander now called Keppel Gate, and was so christened after R O Clark dropped his 250 Levis on the last lap of the 1920 Junior TT, when running 1st lightweight and, I think, 4th overall. He picked it up and finished. At that time, the actual gate across the road known as Keppel Gate was the next corner, now of course called Kate's!!"

That's the source for what's written in the current TT course knowledge at http://siljasttknowledge.blogspot.se/

Keppel Gate 33.7 http://www.gyrovision.com/panoid/51/100/1 Slight right hander and a hard left hander. Here was Shell Grip Tarmac through the right and left handers earlier. From 2015 new tarmac. Shelter on the right. Hero's Gate in times gone by. As well known as Clark's Corner. R O Clark dropped his 250 Levis on the last lap of the 1920 Junior TT, when running 1st in lightweight and probably 4th overall. He picked it up and finished.

Conclusion: Maybe I shall change the current info to make it more clear?  Change to: the left hander is as well known as Clark's Corner. R O Clark dropped his 250 Levis on the last lap of the 1920 Junior TT, when running 1st in lightweight and probably 4th overall. He picked it up and finished.

Opinions, please!
