It was better weather in the Isle of Man for the Manx Grand Prix on Wednesday night as Davy Morgan looked to get some more laps on the CSC Branson 350cc & 560cc Honda's, Rick Abbotts 1045cc Kawasaki and the Mannmade sponsored 250cc Honda.

It was to be a good night for the team with three laps completed out of three laps started as Davy managed to get the 350cc Junior Classic CSC Branson Honda round at 88.171mph, the 560cc Senior Classic 500-1000cc CSC Branson Honda at 96.368mph and the Mannmade Group 250cc Honda at 108.020mph in near perfect conditions. With the Post Classic Kawsaki not ready after Mondays breakdown that was the end of proceedings for Davy Morgan Racing.

Thursday night was again held in near perfect conditions and an opening lap of 93.738mph on the CSC Branson 350cc Honda was fifth quickest in the class and Davy's quickest of the week on the little Honda. The 560cc CSC Branson Honda was next down Bray Hill, but there was dissappointment when it stopped and Davy retired at Sarah's Cottage.

That was the evening over as the Kawasaki was still not ready to go and there was no plan to take the mannmade Lightweight Honda out again until Friday's session.

Speaking on Thursday night Davy commented, "We are getting there and its been a reasonably good couple of nights and we now have three of the four bikes qualified, with another breakdown on the 560CC Honda the only real disappointment, we think with a dead wire. Although we do need to sort out the 350 machine as i am riding it really hard and it feels dead so there is something not quite right, but we will get to the bottom of it. Rick Abbots Kawasaki is the only real problem now, we hope to have it ready for tomorrow (Friday) and we will give it a go, but if it breaks again that will proabably be it parked for this year. We have two more practice sessions and then its in to racing and really want to get some finishes and good results this year to reward the guys and Steve (Caffyn) especially for all their hard work."
