2013 Show
Guest speakers:
Ian Hutchinson (Hutchy) will be on stage on Sunday telling his thrilling TT tales and what his hopes and dreams are for 2014.
The comeback story of the only man ever to win five TT's in one year is a great tale. After a terrible crash at Silverstone in 2010 which completely shattered his left leg, Hutchy has had no less than 30 operations on it since. Despite this he demonstrated a race bike at the 2011 IOMTT and returned to race there in 2012. Sadly his leg injury was compounded by a crash at the London ExCel show and it became infected which put his racing return back to square one.
Undeterred though, after 18-months recuperation period, he raced the 2013 Macau Grand Prix. His opposition was Michael Rutter and John McGuiness. Result - a win on his comeback debut!
Brad Lackey - the first American to contest the European M/X GPs and the world title winner on Suzuki in 1982.
Charlie Williams - 8 times TT winner and a famous speaker on the subject of motorcycle racing will headline on Saturday evening, speaking with Brad.
Ron Langston - successful Road Racer, 6 times a British trials champion and a member of the British team in the Motocross Des Nations of 1958.
Badger Goss - British Motocross Champion in 1970 and Maico importer for 12 years.
Mary Driver - ACU Competition Secretary for 10 years and accomplished SSDT competitor.
Bill Brown - Maico importer since 1983 and Wulfsport supremo.
Julian Ryder - information boffin on Moto GP prophesies the 2014 season from the inside line!
