Re: Competitors' Ages for TT Profiles.
It has not gone unnoticed, I agree with a weight limit.
17 stone minimum.

17 stone minimum.



I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

Re: Competitors' Ages for TT Profiles.
Ha ha John, I was going to type something similar about the minimum age limit not decimating the field but rather felt that was a bit of a cheek given the average age of a TT scrutineer....

It usually takes years to gain supreme knowkedge, only the truly gifted can aspire to high positions at a tender age

Re: Competitors' Ages for TT Profiles.
knowkedge? I must be too young to know what that is...
Re: Competitors' Ages for TT Profiles.
I don't want to be boring but shouldn't we be looking for the youngest competitor. I take on board Kew's comment but can remember when 50 was the cut off for an international licence ( which some fibbed about dare I say ) however if I am to be able to go to the TT in the future to see sidecars we need new crews . This will not happen if we look backwards .
There is much talk of a TT series worldwide . Is anyone from our fraternity chasing this down ?

Re: Competitors' Ages for TT Profiles.
Still looking for:
DRIVERS: Mick Donovan, Steve Ramsden, Darryl Rayner, Stu Stobbart, Debbie Barron, Dean Lindley, James Noble.
BEIFAHRERS: Martin Hull, Richard Murphy, Stuart Clark, James Stonier, John McWhir, Charlie Richardson, Matthew Johnston, Keith Brotherton, Phil Knapton, Leon Fitzpatrick, Robert Lunt, Shaun Chandler.
Thanks to all who have helped so far. I'm on the Island from Fri evening, so can hot-foot it round the paddock to see anybody who I'm short on the Saturday, write them in and then pass the papers onto Chris, Charlie etc ready for evening practice.
