averages a death a year, Real street racing. Win here and you can win anywhere. Paramount risk management, too much risk in a corner and your dead, no run off just concrete.
To be truly alive.

I understand this used to be a sanctioned race but due to the number of injuries and deaths it is no longer sanctioned. Watching the racers on those roads is terrifying!

There will be a movie released about the race in the coming weeks:

Definately something I want to see.

I met a guy in Daytona at the hotel bar this year who races in the sidecar series at the Isle on Man every year. In my opinion these are some of the craziest (some would say bravest) people on earth

we should setup a course thru cuba on route 66 like this, have be a 5 mile loop 4 laps. I will pay in my share for the ambulance standby.
It would make some news for sure, spyder and motorcycle categories.

It's funny you mention "Faster" Seth. I just got my Speedgear catalog yeterday and saw that DVD in there. I was thinking about getting it but now I'm going to get it for sure.

I've watched the Isle of Man on TV, but it wasn't until I got my 55" HD TV, did I WATCH the TT. Those guys are way nuts....in a cool way.
