Sorry you can't make it Lily, I was hoping there would have been a few more days notice.
It was only last Friday that I made a call to John Hacket and said I had a favour to ask, then went up on Saturday morning and sat down with him to discuss it, before going on to the New Era meeting.
I wanted to try and get last seasons trophies awarded before the new season started and with JHP giving one of the awards, along with the back drop of some terrific bikes as well as its central location, it just made sense to ask John if we could use his place.
Trying to get Tony Rutter along was John's idea and it will be great if he is there, not only was he a 7 times TT winner but also 4 times world champion.
In 1981 he began his World F2 Ducati Era racing a factory 600 which I think makes him a great choice for awarding the trophies to riders also racing Ducati 600s
