Latest schedule which has just this moment been further delayed by another half hour. Problems with areas of mist which may, or may not, affect the air-med helicopter. The chopper is going out now to assess conditions. They're talking of trying to get the two main races in today with the Newcomers race taking place tomorrow. I think that is wishful thinking because I doubt there'll be sufficient marshal coverage.

Still leaping,
Ago was at Mid-Ohio race track some ten years ago or so and I was going to speak with him but there were so many people I left and decided to come back later.
When I came back he had just left the track.

That was a shame Bob. I had the pleasure to meet the great man at TT '07, He signed my copy of "Fifteen Times"Ago was at Mid-Ohio race track some ten years ago or so and I was going to speak with him but there were so many people I left and decided to come back later.

The final two days of racing are fully Manx motor club as opposed to the Manx government. The Manx motor club can be found at manxgrandprix.org
Best of all though, is the live telly.

I was lucky enough to have him come to the bar I worked at! To be fair it was Joey's bar. Lovely man, I took pictures for him of him in front of the bikes that were hanging.
Also in regards to the UGP news above, I think the BBC reporting was a bit suspect, the work that was done was what was agreed and the premises the funds used for are used for safety conferences both for the race and road users. I imagine more news will come out over time.

Still doesn't get across how loud they are....
What's the definition of a junior and superbike classic?

Junior is 600cc superbike is 750 upward. Modern superbike is 1000cc but for instance whilst Michael Dunlop's XR69 was an 80's 1000cc, it was running a bored out modern GSXR1100 which was closer to 1200 than 1100.

The Patoni are continued construction but the factory should pull out of storage a couple of their 2 stroke GP bikes and enter them in the main race.
Maybe they could get Ago to ride it.

He is supposed to have built 4 2 stroke machines and one was sold to a private individual a few years back.
No I have not yet, but I will in the future.
I can barely hear the audio so I will have to hook up to my supposedly smart TV.
