Jaizer 2,864 Posted September 5, 2021 Just looking at nowak in 4TT action there. Whatever happened to the old school format with the qualifiers? Used to love that, we'd usually have Edinburgh, Berwick and Newcastle. Match held at each of the home tracks, winner over 4 legs went to the final. Was something different really enjoyed it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah exactly it was all done over the course of a weekend could go to all 4 tracks. Was a great weekend. That's a shame, would love to see it reinstated 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,864 Posted September 7, 2021 Sad news the founder of the stripes, Ian hoskins, passing away. Bit before my time but saw him interviewed several times over the years, always seemed like a showman. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
