For some people this trip would have been an expensive, long distance one, and for a competitor, it would be even more expensive. Dwight Mitchell is a competitor from America who has to face this problem. Here are his thoughts on the cancellation. I think it was the right thing to do. I think the decision could have been made much sooner and saved people money. I also read the complete statement of the Tynwald Chairman to the President. So I understand the issue from their side also. I'm not happy, but I understand. Not to be a smart ass or anything like that, but I and number of people have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars in preparation for this event. How should I feel about not being able to recoup any of the money I spent. Right now I'm down over $15,000 dollars, and I have sponsor commitments. Well I guess we all have to look forward to TT 2002.
