Comments:
All in black and white , the fastest ever race in TT history. No 3 John Mcguiness's lap and race times which are painted onto slate and hung from nails.
The Mountain course is now the fastest road circuit in the world.

Comments:
Took from inside the time keepers hut, that green light bulb is the signal for the start of eadh riders lap.
Now the TT has caught up slightly with the 21st century there are transponders to electronically time each machine but even up to 2003 the hut would be crammed with timekeepers manually stop watching each race and practice session.
As the bikes hammered past to complete each lap someone had the un enviable task of having to identify each number.
