rising to 18 this afternoom - 9 to 12 over the Mountain.
The first race today is the four lap Lightweight with a start time of
10.45 a.m. This is the race that Phillip McCallen really wants to win,
having come so close on many occassions - he led last year till a cracked
exhaust slowed him and he finished fourth.
In practice Ian Lougher (Honda), who has held the lap record since 1990,
topped the leaderboard in 19m. 26.7s. - 116.42 mph, 3.8 seconds faster

six.

The second race today is the three lap Sidecar "B", and Roy Hanks, winner
on Saturday after 31 years of trying will be out for a double with Phillip
Biggs in the chair of the Beale Ireson NRH (Norman, Roy Hanks). But Rob
Fisher/Rick Long (Express Baker) who lapped at over 110 mph in practice
will be all out to make up for the disappointment of Saturdays retirement
as will lan Bell/Neil Carpenter (Bell Yamaha) and the other leaders from
the first race Gregory Lambert/Tony Darby (Tee Bee 600) and Vince
Biggs/Graham Biggs (Molyneux Yamaha).
In practice, riders completed 501 laps - 18,902.73 miles and in the first
