This year's Pre-TT Classic Road Races has received a 'quality entry' in terms of numbers for the 37th edition of the event.
That's according to its promoters the Southern 100 Club which says 230 entries have been accepted for the meeting taking place from 24-26 May on the Billown Course.
The most popular classes currently are the Junior (350cc), Senior (500cc) and Senior Post Classic Superbikes.
Elsewhere, the club adds the sidecar category is 'slightly depleted compared with previous years', but will include two former winners - Danny Quirk who will be joined by Sharon Reeves as well as Mike Bellerby & Dave Gristwood.
Meanwhile, it's been confirmed there are 19 newcomers due to be involved in the solo classes along with one new sidecar crew and two passengers.
Nine races will form the event with a total prize fund of £14,540 split across all those contests.
