CharlieBrown Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 So reading Del boys latest blog post, he clarifies that the TT bit is not on a closed road, the best they get is one closure of the Sloc, can't see why anyone would come after TT when during the one way system they can get plenty of goes, seems a bit pointless.

Or powerful motorbikes. Or small, low powered cars, driven badly. The key is in the end of your last line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only wait and see. This year will be a bit of a learn and we will take it from there. The difference with closed roads is the potential for conflict with other road users is removed.

This was an idiot who got into a car, pressed the accelerator too hard and killed a kid all in the space of a few seconds. It was a sad, completely avoidable incident if the guy engaged his brain first. If only LC had a brain to engage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the post properly, the '''no real harm done' is a quote from your post about a drunken driver. And in another post you state '' the necessity of adhering to all sensible safety measures.''

They should close the mountain section for these supercars and fluck the NIMBY whining blow in's ! I'd put money that most of the Manx are all for this event Anything that both promotes the Island is good for me!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The Sloc is probably the only decent road on the Island, mountain road excepted, and by the time this road race has been on it will be desecrated to the standard of the rest of the Island's roads...so that's half a million wasted.

Jeez, what a drama queen. How can a few cars driving over it for half a day "desecrate" it more than the rest of the traffic for the rest of the year ? Quality whingeing.

'Manx' usually means, 'I am Manx by my own opinion' not real Manx like myself, and certainly not the imported coppers, real Manx coppers look after their own, though Manx coppers are like most coppers, mentally subnormal.
