By Junior:
Although conditions where perhaps not as good overall as they where on Monday, lap speeds in the Junior Manx GP class rose visibly this evening.
Andy Dudgeon tipped by many for Junior race victory was the pace setter tonight, lapping at 116.906 mph on the Slick Bass backed GSX-R 600 Suzuki.

It was a case of a battle between the two Andy’s tonight, with Andy Farrell (116.290 mph) finishing second quickest with the B&W Racing CBR 600 Honda.
Tom Weeden (116.028 mph) showcased again why he is a definite contender for Junior Manx GP success, whilst David Lumsden (115.168 mph), Jamie Hodson (114.548 mph), Davey Lambert (114.054 mph) and Richard Wilson (114.036 mph) who’s birthday it is today all showed accomplished pace.
This notion can be applied to Glenn Harrison (113.085 mph), Richard Charlton (112.586 mph), Oilee Racing’s Joe Akroyd (112.218 mph) and Barry Evans (111.661 mph).
Rad Hughes still fairly new to the Cowton Racing CBR 600 Honda, showed solid speed lapping at a highly creditable 106.148 mph.
