The TT Supporters Club in Action at TT 2010

A busy TT fortnight beckons for TT Supporters’ Club officials who look forward to meeting old friends and making new ones at the Club Shop, located in its usual position at the rear of the Grandstand. Scheduled opening times are 9.00am daily throughout the fortnight until the end of practicing and ‘late’ during race week, depending on what time the races finish.

The Club will be supporting the competitors who are members of the Club with a ‘gift package’ to the value of about £45…the main item of which will be fire retardant overalls, suitable for use in the pit lane and naturally emblazoned with the Club’s logo…several other items, such as cable ties will also be included.

The Club will also be involved in the provision of SIS Electrolyte Sport Drinks and Energy Gels, a substantial donation having been made towards the cost of these products to be handed out to competitors giving them an added energy boost before setting out on the circuit.

The Riders’ Draw will take place live on the Charlie Williams’ Radio TT Show - £1000 is up for grabs with the first name drawn but of the hat receiving £400; second will net £200, then there will be four other winners receiving £100 each. Nicky Crowe was the deserving recipient of the main prize last year.

Again, the Club will be co-ordinating the Sports’ Injury Clinic, which is scheduled to operate from 1st – 9th June, inclusive. The facility is available daily from 9.00am to the conclusion of practising / racing. Competitors requiring assistance should contact Liz and Emma on 07624 256302 or via the TTSC Shop or ACU Race Office.

The TT Supporters’ Club Trophy will be presented to the rider with the fastest aggregate speed across the two Supersport TTs. Ian Hutchinson with a victory and a fifth position last year is the current holder of the silver tray on a plinth.

Lady competitors will be vying for the Susan Jenness Trophy, currently held by Jenny Tinmouth after her fantastic debut performance last year. Awarded in recognition of the most meritorious performance, in the eyes of Club officials, by a female competitor, the trophy is presented in memory of Club member, Susan who tragically lost her life whilst marshalling an off-road event.

Club members will be able to renew their membership at the shop; all TT fans are, of course, welcome to join, in so doing assist competitors fulfil their dream of racing on the TT Mountain Course. Annual subscriptions is £15; members receive two glossy 52 page magazines per year, the Summer 2010 issue including articles on Ben Wylie, Carl Rennie, Adrian Archibald, Dave Wallis, Toni Rechberger, Ivan Lintin, Steve Mercer and 1960 Revisited. Memorabilia, souvenirs and race programmes can be purchased at the TTSC shop.
