[edit] Start of Lightweight 250 cc TT

On the webpage linked to above,
"An extra Race was effectively introduced on the first Race day of 1922, Tuesday 30th. May, by splitting the 250 c.c. machines away from, but run simultaneously with the 350 c.c.'s"
appearing to contradict this, on the same page, for 1920,
"The Lightweight 250 c.c. Junior was a walk over for the Levis stable with the first three spots filled by their machines."
and for 1921,
"Three different machines featured in the top three positions at the end of the 250 c.c. Race with Doug Prentice on a New Imperial a convincing victor ahead of G.S. Davison's Levis and third place man W.G. Harrison on board a Velocette."
New Imperial seems to have celebrated this 1921 win at the time, so was there an unofficial tabulation of 250 results that became official in 1922? This iomtt page doesn't clarify.Seasalt 03:11, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
