    The best two weeks of the year started last night. Very fast times straight off, if the weather keeps up I can see records been smashed.

    Sweeney and McCormack went well last night on the stockers, Bonner broke down on the first lap on on the super bike but put in two good laps on the stocker but broke down again on his third lap. Time to do it all again now. Hope its another safe session.

    Dunlop obliterated all previous records with the first ever sub-17 minute lap of the TT course. He completed a lap of the 37.73 mile course in 16:58.439!

    Unfortunately the real sad side of road racing has struck twice today.
    Dwight Beare Lost his life in the sidecar race and Paul Shoesmith lost his life in this evenings practice. Dark weekend for motorcycle racing.

    RIP Dwight Beare & Paul Shoesmith.

    Hutchy setting good pace again this year, MD not doing well, the moly coated cam buckets was a terrible bit of luck and the gear linkage in the SSTK was just awful for him.

    Watched it last night, some serious speeds on open road but there is room for improvement. He'll break it again shortly with the weather we're having.

    Been a mega couple of weeks over here. Last year was my first time but have to say this year has been even better. The weather has been insanely good and the times have been mega quick. Hopefully we'll have a safe and fast senior tomorrow!
