Wednesday 8th June 1988 and the Production A class for up to 1300cc roadsters saw Dave Leach (Yamaha FZR1000) battling for the lead with Kevin Wilson (Suzuki GSXR1100). On Friday 10th June 1988 the Senior TT saw a classic confrontation between the Grand Prix strokers and the road based 4-strokes. Joey Dunlop was riding the RC30 machine whilst fellow Ulsterman Steve Cull was aboard Dunlop's old RS500. The pace was as hot as the Manx weather and both men were to share the glory.
