For the last few years, I've prepared info for the Radio TT commentators on ALL sidecar entrants, previous TT record, best result, fastest lap etc along with snippets of news/gossip etc. I've always put ages in as well but there are a lot of new competitors since I first did the age bit. If any/some/all of the following could p.m. me their age (at the start of TT fortnight) would be very grateful. Chris Kinley, Charlie Williams use them when we start our practice sessions from the bottom end of pit lane and Charlie Lambert is very good at trying to mention a bit on everybody when they start each race. Re ages, if, just for example Shaun Parker!!, tells me he's 21, I'll make an educated guess then add 10!!

11 of the 40 sent within a few hours, many thanks! To be fair Jo, nobody seems to give a damn about how old they are, a case of 75 years young for Robin Daykin! Although Donny's finest (NB - the post above yours) has clocked up 51 years :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd lie about my age! Suffice to say, I'm the youngest scrutineer at the TT!

I think there should be an age limit of 50 for sidecar competitors at the TT.

(obviously, that is minimum age) 8-) 8-) 8-)
