ManxGP

[Jerry]

Hi

Is anyone going to take part in the ManxGP this year, if so could you get in touch. Im going over to watch and see whats involved in taking part in the 400 class.
Id like to meet up with anyone taking part in that class for a chat and advice.

Thanks

I've riding at the Manx since 1997 and on a 400 since 2002
I'm an ambassador for the Manx GP and am more than happy to help in any way I can..............I will be there this year again with a ZXR400 you will be very welcome to come see us in the paddock campsite anytime and if your lucky there will be beer and or coffee available in our superior hospitality suite........................ a big tent really
If you want contact details for me or the Manx MCC PM me

One thought why wait until next year..................entries are not yet open nd there's plenty of time yet to get prepared

Id love to be taking part this year but im still trying to get my national licence sorted. It would be great to catch up with you and get to see whats involved and to make use of your superior hospitality suite....although im more a cuppa tea guy myself.

It will be interesting to get a first timers point of view....have you done any road racing at all.

[mcmullen123]

no real road racing just short circuit. going to enter some irish events this year before the manx.

[cargo]

If memory serves me right there are 5 or 6 ZXR world riders in the Manx this year and perhaps one or two visiting to watch.

I think a ZXRWorld paddock meet up is very much in order...............every year at the Manx there are a number of social events that happen but there is always room for one more.
I would reccommend going to every social event you can especially the ones with free food. The marshals supper is a good one and if you are really lucky you will get and invite to the governers reception or an afternoon in the mayors parlour both with free food and drink.
also the MGP riders aosociation lunch is goof

If you guys have any specific questions about the Manx particulary with getting entries and the regs/rules then ask away

[mcmullen123]

hi cargo, i was in dougie scotts team <>alba no stars<> in last years jurby4 hr endurance, would this meeting be accepted as one of the mandatory six meeting finishes for entry acceptance

[cargo]

yes.
now ask me something hard

I'll be at the Manx this year with what should be a bike that can be ridden rather than have a bike that rode me, pardon the expression.
As luck would have it I live in the IoM and I get to go over the mountain twice a day in my little for Ka.

Happy to help out anyone who wants to have a trip round the course, just drop me a PM telling me when your coming over as I'd be glad to help.

Cargo, happy to give you a hand if your coming over, again drop us a PM.

It would be good to see a few more ZXR's this year, roll on August.

Cheers
Jonesy

Hi

Well its not long till the Manx, could I have some contact details of anyone who is racing over there in August. I will be coming over for the first week and will get there saturday morning. It would be nice to get a look at the bikes and get some advice on anything special need to be done to them and also some advice on the event as I hope to be taking part next year.

Thanks

I will be on the IOM from 17th August for the duration on the Manx.

I am a competitor and also an ambassador for the Manx GP............I'd be more than happy to see you and help in anyway I can.

On the IOM you can phone me on my Manx phone number which I will PM to you

[Jerry]

Thanks for that will check PM...could anyone give me a rough idea of the budget needed to take part in the Manx and how many people I would need to help me.

Thanks
