The Place

I have several sets of passengers notes for the TT, but NO drivers. I am often asked if they are available, by newcomers. Is there a TT driver out there who would like to offer his wisdom ?

Drivers Notes:

1. Engage gear and leave line.
2. Go through gears on the way to bray hill.
3. Brake going into Q/Bridge

Continue to Ballacraine, stop and make adjustments (KEW), argue with the mashals over the stupid rule of not being allowed to continue (Brian Alflatt) even though we all know there is nothing wrong with the bike.

Blame the passenger!

Carry in in a similar theme for three laps and when exiting governors on the last lap, take a moment to look back and see if your passenger is still there because drivers are so considerate like that!!

Will that do?

A bit wordy. Please condense.

I had heard that's why it's a three lap race - expecting drivers to remember all that Fitz has written PLUS a pit stop would be too much.

Oh, you'd make SUCH a good passenger!!

will you passengers get off and leev thiss posst to peepl hoo cun reed and rite.

Sorry, oh wonderful driver! You know you're my favourite, don't you?

She says that to all the drivers....



I'll have to banish myself to Drivel soon... this was supposed to be a serious question...lol!

I do not!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But apologies, I shall bow my head in shame and leave this thread, as it wasn't aimed at me anyway! Serious answers only from now on!

OK, if we are being serious, Fitz is right except for the bit about checking to see if the passenger is still there.
I know that Al is there because I can feel him moving everytime there is a photographer about.

Dont do this four corners from the end (Sorry Kev&Miles)

What a fantastically lucky (skilful) pic Wha was the lucky snapper - anyone know?

You've only got to learn 12 corners.............everywhere else is a slight variation of flat out.
Well, that's what Moly told me in '93.
