Rules are Rules"
Felix Green practices for the 1948 Senior Clubman TT. He was not allowed to start as his Scott was not fitted (as standard) with a primary chaincase. Scott offered to fit a case, but this would have contravened the Clubman rule: no modification from standard. So why did they take the entry?

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rules are Rules" we catch a glimpse of Felix Green, an aspiring racer, diligently practicing for the 1948 Senior Clubman TT. However, despite his unwavering dedication and skill on the track, fate dealt him a bitter blow. As it turns out, Felix's beloved Scott motorcycle was not fitted with a primary chaincase as per the standard regulations set by the Clubman rule. Scott, recognizing Felix's potential and determination to compete in the prestigious event, offered to modify his bike by fitting a chaincase. Unfortunately for both parties involved, this act would have violated the very rule that governed their participation – no modification from standard allowed. The question arises: why did they take the entry? Perhaps it was an act of defiance against rigid rules or simply an expression of faith in Felix's abilities. Regardless of their motivations, this poignant image captures both frustration and resilience; showcasing how even within strict boundaries imposed by regulations, passion can still shine through. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time from BikeSport TT Race Pics collection, we are reminded that sometimes life presents us with obstacles seemingly insurmountable. Yet it is precisely these challenges that test our resolve and inspire us to push beyond limitations – reminding us that rules may bind us momentarily but cannot extinguish our spirit to strive for greatness.
