The Southern 100 Club have announced via a Facebook post that the 2022 Post TT Races have been cancelled.
This is really unfortunate news as the Post TT Races are a superb event and give many riders who may not have competed on the TT Mountain Course a chance to wind up their TT Festival with a multi start competitive day of road racing.
DAO Post TT Road Races 2022 :
It is with regret that Southern 100 Racing, organisers of the DAO Post TT Road Races have to announce that this year’s races due to be held on Saturday 11th June, have been cancelled.
With the Senior TT having been postponed from Friday 10th June to Saturday 11th June, commencing at 11.00am, many of the officials, marshals and other personnel involved with the DAO Post TT are also required for duty on the Mountain Course and may not be available later for the Billown Course.
Southern 100 Racing have looked at the possibility of running later in the day, unfortunately the road closing order makes it impractical and with no guarantee that we would have full medical or marshal cover, the only decision that could be taken is to cancel the event for 2022.
We are extremely disappointed that the DAO Post TT Road Races will not be run and apologise to all competitors, especially those who have made the journey to the Island for the races and to all the race fans who look forward to a day out at Billown to bring the TT Experience to a close.
Southern 100 Racing look forward to seeing you at Billown in July for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Southern 100 Road Races.

1991 saw a new event added to the Billown Course. The “Isle of Man Steam Packet Company National Road Races’ were introduced to provide entertainment for enthusiasts who were staying on the Island after the end of the TT Races, as it was at the time proving impossible to ‘evacuate the many thousands of bikers in a day or two’, as once was the case.
The Steam Packet Company requested Southern ‘100’ Racing to organise a three-race programme catering for machines ranging from 125cc to 750cc, with practicing taking place in the afternoon and racing, early evening. The calibre of the entry was first class, for the three classes, 125cc and 400cc Supersport; 250cc and 350cc, followed by the 750s, competing for a prize fund which stood at over £5,000. In all ninety-nine entries were received.
The discussions resulting in the inaugural event being run on Saturday 8th June 1991, with the ‘Island’s Lifeline’ remaining title sponsors to 2007.
2008 and 2009 saw the Lightweight (250cc) and Ultra-Lightweight (125cc) races being elevated to TT Status, reverting to the Post TT Road Races in 2010, headline sponsors have included, Manx Telecom, Metzeler Tyres; Radcliffe Butchers; Colas (IOM) Ltd and DAO Holdings Ltd.
The three-race format has continued since, adjusting the classes to suit changes in rules and regulations, with 600cc, 650cc and 1100cc machines being catered for at the present time.

The Blackford Pre-TT Classic Road Races will run from 27th May – 30th May 2022 with racing happening on 27th, 28th and 30th May 2022 at the Billown Circuit.
The Pre-TT Classic Road Races came into being in 1988 at the request of the then TT organisers, the then Auto Cycle Union, Classics having first appeared on the Billown course twelve months earlier at the popular Southern ‘100’ Road Races.’ The first TT Classic Races were held on the 31st May1988, the meeting consisting of four races, 250cc/350c; 500cc; Unlimited and Sidecars and attracted 115 entries in all.
Honour of being the first race winner went to Graham Godward of Royston in Hertfordshire, riding a 350cc Aermacchi, whilst the 250cc category was dominated by ‘local’ classic man Mike Cain from Onchan on his 250cc Suzuki. Dave Pither, Seeley Matchless took the 500cc race from Richard Swallow on Syd Lawton’s Aermacchi with Alan Dugdale third. Riding a BSA Metisse, Stroud’s Robert Price finished first in the Unlimited race, whilst the controversial MV Agusta sidecar outfit of Mark Kay and Richard Battisson took the chequered flag in the final race of the day. The Classics had arrived at Billown!
Thirty plus years on, the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races is rated as one of the most popular and ‘must do’ events in the annual Classic calendar attracting well over 250 entries for its nine-race event.
It looks a little different from previous years with the initial Qualifying Practice Sessions starting at lunch time on Sunday 29th May 2022.
