ACU Events Ltd regrets to announce that Bob Price, 65, from Stroud, Gloucester was killed during the Supersport 1 Race at the Isle of Man TT races today following an incident at Ballaugh on the 3rd lap of the race.
Bob, a car body repair shop owner, was an experienced road racer who first competed at the TT Races in 1992 and competed regularly in the Manx Grand Prix as a Classic racer.
Highlights of his Mountain Course career included 3rd place in the MGP Junior Classic in 2002 and runner up position in the same year in the Senior Classic. He also achieved third place in the 2004 Junior Classic MGP and took part in last year's inaugural Classic TT Races.
The ACU wishes to pass on their deepest sympathy to Bob's family and friends.

Re: Bob Price
Absolutely tragic news. 
You could not wish to meet a nicer, friendly man than Bob.
Could not believe the news last night & still can't.
Will always remember back in the day & he had not picked up any prize money so had no money for diesel to get home to Stroud. drove the van onto the ferry the put half a cup of oil into the radiator & called the RAC claiming the head gasket had blown, they met him at Liverpool & towed him home.............
RIP Bob you will be missed at Cheltenham autojumble & all the North Glos paddocks.
