I was at Anglesey yesterday, and Arthur the scrutineer and ex-sidecar racer, told me that one of the newcomer crews, Stephen and John, are really tight for money and are racing a 1998 Thundercat engine. If that is true, to qualify and finish their first TT is really good going!
im sure stephens been before , yes hes always skint , he may be using thundercats still , john maybe new to the island , spoke to him a while back but never thought he was doing tt ,
Apologies for the missinformation \true Steve has been before, John was a newbie and I got it wrong. for the record they finished the race in a credible position at an average speed of 98mph on a Jacobs yamaha which I assume is the thundercat.
