Re: 2 BED House TT Fortnight

Are you sorted with a house yet. A friend of ours has decided to go away for TT and is looking to rent his bungalow out for the two weeks in Onchan.

Re: Tt 2016 schedule changes

As always the chairs suffer. Isn't there something about riders only been allowed to do a maximum of 9 laps a day and with them making the twins 4 laps and senior 6 laps it's to many. Easy fix Senior 5 twins 4.

Re: Tt 2016 schedule changes

If anyone has spoken to the Steam Racket they'll get filled with a load of bullshit the same as they fill everyone else with.They can't cope now with the boats.How come Joe Public can work this out, but not the highly paid so called intelligent people running the TT.Who's going to want to sit in the ...

Re: No sidecars at Barry Sheene 21st June (Oliver's Mount)

Not really suprising there are no classic's there. The other year they had to put f2's in to make a half decent grid.The main reason might be that the Bob Mac is on the same weekend and you get loads of practice and normally six races over the weekend.I don't know the cost for entering both meetings ...

Re: Privatising the TT

Perhaps Helen they will privatise the ferries also, so that everyone can get here. Mind you that would be difficult when half of them have shares in it anyway.Corruption ,where?

Re: S100 media release ref std engines

Good old ACUseless, yet again they seem to be trying to make things awkward for the Southern club. I don't think they really like them being a successful club.

Re: Klaus Enders Busch Chassis

I heard quite sometime ago on the old grapevine that Howard was told he could race at the CRMC, but on a probation basis that no doubt would be reviewed if he started winning.Sounds about right,hopefully if I'm wrong Howard will say.As you say Tony let them in and anything else that raced in the day ...

Re: Klaus Enders Busch Chassis

Well done to both of you on your opinions and as Steve said keeping it civil. Some older people should take note from you.How long will it before we get a comment on this from someone involved with the CRMC.Especially about the ride height comment and also I would be interested to hear their ...

Re: Klaus Enders Busch Chassis

I would say the answer to one of your questions Kieran is that the decisions are made behind very securely closed doors and a personnal choice of just one or two people!. You also say that the grid would look better with a different type of classic on the grid.As you say "Unique", something ...

Re: Klaus Enders Busch Chassis

Going back to the dimension issue does anyone know how much wider the newer oufits are compared to the period ones which were raced. Also it would be interesting to know the wheel offset.Perhaps one or two of the manufactures would like to comment on this.

Re: Klaus Enders Busch Chassis

Hello Mr Sample, long time no hear. As I say I was only dangling off the side bit,but as I understand one of the last outfits I raced on had a very similair wheelbase to an F2. Lets just say it was the widest and most angled platform I have ever slept on.Very different from the two Busch outfits ...

Re: Klaus Enders Busch Chassis

I know it may be because I have an ex passengers brain, but it always puzzles me why you can't use a Busch replica.You can use new outfits built nearly to F2 spec. No names mentioned.
