[QUOTE="Deleted member 3831, post: 99073"] Although Comet engined machines were at the Classic TT this year, for undisclosed reasons they did not race. Other pushrod engined machines filled the void with an excellent performance coming from Phil McGurk on his BSA Gold Star, with a superb last lap of 101.9 mph. Incidentally Phil was the first man to reach the 100 mph lap on a BSA Gold Star, for which he was awarded a sum of £1000, a prize that had been waiting to be collected for some years. Now he has surpassed his previous best and will be focussed on his next effort for the 2019 races. Another notable effort came from Chris Swallow riding a Royal Enfield Bullet engined machine, owned and prepared by Steve Linsdell. Chris finished in a very creditable 4th place, missing out on a podium position by a mere 3.99 seconds, with all his laps, including his standing start lap, at 106 mph plus. This engine incidentally has crankcases made way back in 1957. [/QUOTE]
