The Beacon Message Board

Simon Dighton

Somehow most people raced in dry conditions in stark contrast to the drive down to the course. Congratulations to Gemma on winning the event outright and Beacon winning the team prize. This contributed to some fine handicap results with everyone who had ridden the course before now setting PB's. Geo...

One of the most historic TT's in the UK and in my view the best one. A good still day for racing although the temperature was cold for the whole morning. However road conditions were good as evidenced by 6 PB's from the 7 Beacon riders. Top of the pile is Ian Taylor with an improvement on last year ...

First draft handicap tables for the new year are done. By way of explanation the handicap is deducted from your actual time to give the handicap time. Fastest handicap time gets 40 points, next 39 points etc. Where riders are comparatively new to TT's their handicap time cannot be less than the cour...

Hi Dave,

Think I will be doing them all except Bridlington

Best Simon
(think Scottish course may have changed from last year to Dumfries which is a fair bit closer - was the best TT course I have been on last year, stunningly beautiful (except for LMTT)

Run this morning in good conditions. Thought I would be up against Ian and possibly some others but Ian was a DNSA (hope all ok) so had to get round to claim club championship. As it was did a pretty decent time and a PB in 1-58-55 which I think does the trophy justice.

I think it would be good to see V50, V60, V70, V80 records as well and it would also be relatively easy to set up records based on the Vet's standard times which give a target time for each year of age - one simply sees how much one is ahead of target and the best '+' is the record holder.

That must be one of the biggest fields we have had and loads of PB's and very small differences in time giving quite a big movement in position. Good to see Toby D back on the TT.
