As i hope to race in the post classic superbike race at MGP 2011. Let say messers Dunlop & Co put in exceptional practice times speeds in excess of 120+mph . Looking at last years qualifying times you could end up loosing half the field. Lets say your 3rd place man does 118mph
the last man to qualify will have to lap in and around 104mph not easy on a 25 year old superbike for some people.Id like to think id be able to make the cut off but their are a lot of things that can halt your progress on the TT course like yellow flags, Traffic and so on. I think they should be more progressive in their approach when it comes to qualifying times like previous mountain course experience and race results this should at least count for something. But i suppose we will just have to wait and see. all the best will see you all at MGP 2011 Ciao Irish Ago....
Having looked at last years qualifying times for the post classic superbike race
with the new qualifying times, you would have lost 5 of the 17 starters that is if my maths is right. 3rd place just shy of 113mph last 5 qualifyers 92mph lets hope their are more entry,s this year which i believe their will be cheers Irish Ago....

The other problem is that you wont know you are definately in until Sat eve if you are near the bottom. So if you are racing Monday in the classic races it will be hard to know when to prepare your bikes for the race. Not everybody wants to run them right up to the last min.
