Real road racing

I know this is a car forum, however I thought some of you would enjoy this clip of the Isle of Man TT practice from a few weeks ago. About halfway thru the clip the camera pans down the straight, you'll notice a right hand sweeper and you can tell from the sound that most take it a full throttle. Great sound, enjoy!

I will check it out tonight.  I have been viewing some of the older ones for a while now, and they are just fantastic!

I absolutely need to go over one of these years.

Actually, between the Tail of the Dragon and the Isle of Man,  there is a ton of good stuff out there.

Speaking of the Isle of Man TT, check out this "King of the Mountain" video. Way cool!

OK Dave and Nick.  How much for us to get there next year with some respectable rides? Rental of course.

Thanks, guys.

Here's another short clip, notice the iron fence "safety" barrier with the sharpen points on tophock:. Also in this clip which looks like their running thru a townhouse development I wonder how they keep cars, kids, dogs, bouncing balls and the such from coming onto the track.

I would love to go over there and see this as it's truly the last real road race of it's kind. I think it's just a matter of time before they ban it as two riders got killed this year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVsSCgs94...re=related
