I know this is coming at it from a totally different angle but what about this? ....

Please don't kill me for this but I am trying to give all angles.

If say for instance we were all talking about something completely different like a train accident. Much like that a few years ago at the train station in the UK. The coroner there made his verdict but also suggested that there was a full enquiry into the accident that went on for ages. Since then Rail Track has invested largely in new track and also new kit to check track condition.

Would this investment have been made had that accident never happened? who knows, all we do know is there has been exstensive track which has been replaced, which has probably, but not definately, prevented a few more accidents.

It wasn't the first time Mr Moyles has done this, but again he isn't the only coroner who has done this over the years, and it isn't restricted to the IOM.

Please don't slate me over this but if the TT needed an overhall is it better now or later? Do we feel that even though we think Mr Moyles comments about individuals was out of order, some real good can come out of his comments for the safety of the riders, marshals and also most importantly the people who come here and spend their hard earned cash. If there has been deficientcies in communication, can his comments open these up? Did it need his comments to realise how bad the situation was? and if not and the problems were already known why was there nothing done before?

I think we all know that the TT was in need of an overhall in some areas, but maybe didn't realise how much, and how far up it went. Or did we?

Sometimes when people are in charge they will accept or think that things are being done by the people they trust to do their jobs. The TT organisers are not alone in this it happens all over the world. Soc Gen for instance in the financial sector with their rogue traders, bet the Chairman had no idea that it was going on until it was too late. I am not condoning what happened, just that sometimes it does.

There has to be trust at the top that everything below them is being done, and yes I understand that it is up to them to make sure that this happened. To tell you the truth, no one person can do that, it needs a team of people, a very large team, and most importantly it needs to be checked and communicated both ways when things are missing or simply just not there. Maybe with all the other things going on it might have been missed, but lets just leave it at that and hope things get sorted.

Its time to realise that change is needed, and change for the good of the TT. Maybe, even though I hate to say it, it took something like this to make that change and difference to make the future TT's a safer place to be? Its only a shame it did actually need something like this to happen before anything is done.

The orgainsers can not make these changes without the dedication of the marshals, they can not do it without the days and months of planning by all of the people who play even a small part in the great and one and only TT. This is the saving grace fo the TT, they have a very dedicated team, very professional marshals and to tell you the truth I think the TT is the safest place to race in the UK. Medics, helicopters safety equipment, officials and most of all the greatest team of people out on the track the many many trained marshals. You won't find any of these else where.

Come on support the TT.
