TT/MGP/Southern100
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 8:22 pm
Here in the Isle of Man, we have some fantastic races on the roads. The TT and the Manx Grand Prix (smelly solos only, I'm afraid) are held on the world renowned 37.75 mile Mountain Course.
Lesser known, but perhaps even more challenging, is the 4.5 mile Billown course on which the Southern100, Pre-TT Classic and Post TT (Silly solos again...)meetings are held. Meetings there, run by the Southern100 Club are probably the friendliest anywhere in the world.
We did have a road course in the north... Jurby Races, but that's in abeyance due to the lack of a government budget to fix the local roads... not really too optimistic about them ever coming back. Nearby is Jurby Airfield, where once a month we hold circuit races, on 2 different layouts. We offer very special entry rates to people who come across to race there.. (PM me if you'd like to come to our 2-day meeting in September, when we hope to run 2 separate meetings in the weekend, attracting 2 signatures... if the repairs are done in time
)
ANYWAY... to the point... if you would like to have a look around any of these venues, in the company of current and past riders... many of them TT/MGP/Southern winners, please PM me or email at helenbmerry at manx.net.
Accomodation is not a problem and we can usually get you a loan of a car while you are here.
If you are thinking of doing any of these meetings as a newcomer (even smelly solos...) read my other posting regarding newcomer weekends.
COME TO THE ISLE OF MAN... YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!
