Alright guys,
I'm a newbie on this site and I think its bloody marvelous http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif Got soooo many different things goin on http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/grin.gif As you might hav guessed I'm over on the Isle of Man so luckily get to see TT every year http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif This year has been just as amazing as the rest but as I'm sure a lot of you will have heard the festival had a tragic start when the brilliant David Jefferies lost his life in a high speed crash at Crosby. I only saw him in practice on the Tuesday evening whilst I watched from the bottom of Bray Hill, the guy was awesome and when he went by the hairs on the back of your neck stood on end!! Then on Thursday afternoon I got a text from a mate to turn my radio on to Radio TT, DJ had crashed an hour or so before....I was gutted. He was my fave....
DJ's team after much thought and after talking with his family decided that they would race on, it was what he would have wanted, and took Saturdays F1 race when Adrian Archibald got the first, a fitting tribute.
Today (Fri) we've been out on the course at the Gooseneck to see the Production 600, Sean Harris took that. The big Senior race has been re-scheduled to tmrw (Sat) morning after fog on the mountain stopped racing, so we'll be out for that. I'll get some pics put up on this forum ok
Cheers for now
