Only one place remains vacant in the coveted Tommy Club, set up 21 years ago after the death of Peel man Tommy Clucas in the 2004 Junior Manx Grand Prix.

A combination of Tommy’s family, friends and sponsor, Martin Bullock, established the exclusive club in memory of the former Peel AFC and Isle of Man international footballer to recognise riders achieving a 120mph lap at the Manx Grand Prix.

It also commemorates Tommy's historic achievement of becoming the first rider in the history of the Manx to lap at over the ton-twenty mark.

Manx Motor Cycle Club agreed to incorporate the award into the Senior prizegiving presentation each year and last weekend there were five new additions to take the overall tally to 35 - one short of the number originally set, one for each year of Tommy’s action-packed life.

Jamie Williams, Michael Gahan, Ryan Whitehall and Chris Cook all achieved 120mph laps in Saturday’s Supersport race. Two days later Caomhan Canny went round at 120.846mph on the final lap of the Senior to snatch victory away from Cook by a mere half a second.

Earlier he had lapped at 120.229mph from a standing start and 120.424mph on lap two. Cook also lapped in excess of 120mph on three occasions in the Senior - 120.595mph on lap one, 120.994mph lap two and 120.181mph on the final circuit when he had his big moment on May Hill in Ramsey. His 120.994mph - 18min 42.605sec - was the quickest of this year’s meeting.

The 120mph lap is seen as the gauge for success at the Manx, just as the 130mph lap has been the benchmark at the TT for the past decade or so.
