It's an 'encouraging start' to see so many entries for this year's Pre-TT Classic Road Races.
Registrations opened earlier this month, with 72 entries so far from riders wanting to race on the Billown Course at the end of May.
Race Secretary George Peach says the classics have always been popular since they were introduced in 1988, and they provide some excellent, close racing.
Competitors are reminded that entries will close on Thursday February 29.
