1977 TT revisited

[@littlepeanut5557]

Excellent memories of what was my first visit to the Isle of Man TT ..... thanx

[@geordienufc3132]

I got to watch Mac Hobson race many times at Croft, Oliver's mount and Silloth . A sad day when he died on the IOM.

Thanks for this. I was a regular at Brands around this time and it brings back memories. Never made it to IOM but there's still time.

Thanks Bill. So many happy memories!

Very interesting and informative, thanks! Never seen the Goldwing pic before so that was new to me! Great to see Joey there for his first win and Mike doing the promo... I wonder if they ever met? What an amazing experience! So many great riders long gone - just hope I can get their autographs when my time is up! Reckon they are all up there still competing.

Thanks for having such great documentation on these. I don't suppose you have any footage or pictures from any of the 1971 750cc sidecar? My grandad was a sidecar passanger and would be great to know if you had documented this race? His name was Terry J Harrington

[@billsnelling3285]

Greetings. If you go to www.ttracepics.com and put his name in the search box, you will find three pics of him from the 1971 Sidecar TTs, he rode in both 500 and 750 sidecar TTs. Best wishes, Bill

The shortened 6-lap to 4-lap race due to worsening conditions, very controversial and suspicious for TT spectators and competitors alike. With Nicholls leading the race on corrected time and road position, Read in second place and trailing Nicholls by a distance, Roger Nicholls pitted to refuel at the mid-race point, while Nicholls was in the pits refuel-ling, the race officials announced the shortening from 6 laps to 4 , Read , in second place and trailing Nicholls on the road was waved on without a fuel stop for the last lap. Nicholls with his time lead unfairly taken away, was relegated from first to second place, Nicholls could not make good for the lost time while riding the last lap and Read took the flag, Nicholls runner-up. Incompetence by the race officials? Or, a deliberate ploy to ensure Read would take the win ( and the race winners purse)?

Open face helmets, a single cylinder Maico and BSA. End of an era.

Yes, regrettably, 1977 practice.
