I think it's time we had a passenger database, list all passengers, their licence and what they are available for, would save drivers a lot of time looking for a passenger.

It's Marks first TT too and I know if Kev has put as much prep in to it as Mark has, it an absolute kick in the teeth to be searching for a passenger now and still having to go over just incase a passenger becomes available.

aaahhh well there's always Ramsey sprint :lol: :lol:

totally agree with you Lisa,unfortunatly this is the crap system that sociaty has produced,this litigation sociaty has ruined the TT,unfortunatly some regular passengers do not want to ride the TT,total respect for those that say no,
gone are the days when you could go over and watch,then phone the ACU (from the Island ) and get a licence to ride like the old Days,im sure there are loads of passengers like myself with yrs of experience at the TT who would love to jump on for the TT but dont want to race all yr to qualify.
hope you both get sorted,
regards

:lol: :lol: :lol: well said Matthew. Im glad mark will be ok this year. I can't belive there is a shortage of passengers for the TT, I can't wait to get enough rounds done so I can blast down bray with roads closed. Just sorry it can't be this year after all the prep and money Kev has put into it. But at least it gives me plent of time to put the homework in :geek: Have a safe 1 mate

Kev Thornton is a good safe driver who is not going to anything daft he simply needs a passenger experienced or otherwise to help him complete his learning year.

Good luck in your search for a willing replacement.
