Good point man, Bottom of Bray hill is exellent. I took Andrew Stroud to watch from thete once, we both only lasted about 10 minutes, as it was so dangerous just to watch, se we left.

So - how good is Ian Hutchinson! Looks like it's his year! 130 mph lap on a Superstock CBR!
Cam Donald is going well, apart from the cockup in the first race when he overshot a corner - must have cost him at least one place, but Bruce Anstey seems to be off his form......
And Ian Lougher being called "the old man" - I thought that was meant to be your title, Shaun?????

Anyone would be gutted for losing 2nd for what Guy Martin did, but he seems to accept it without any whinging

You Obviously have NOT read any of the Isle of Man web sites about how Guy has acted about this.

He is his own team manager as such, he gets what he wants exactually on his machines, they pushed the limit, by NOT setting the speed limiter low enough for the pit lane, Simply, they Screwed them selfes.

This pretty shocking:

http://www.isleofman.com/news/articl...?article=26968

"NEW Zealand rider Paul Dobbs was killed during today’s Supersport Race 2 after a high speed crash at Ballagarey.


Dobbs, 39, first competed in the TT in 1999 and his best finish was 6th in the 2000 Lightweight Race.


He was riding a 600cc Suzuki in today’s race, having finished 22nd in the first Supersport Race on Monday with a race speed of 117mph.


A statement from the Auto-Cycle Union paid tribute to “a talented rider” and passed on their deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the rider.


Paul Dobbs was married with two children."

Condolences and sympathies to all those that knew and followed his riding and especially to his family.
