Amazing men. Seen them over at it once. They are faster in the flesh. It's basically just a flash you see!

Quite a few as you can imagine..... and sadly quite a few deaths as well. 237 have died between 1907 and 2009. Or an average of 2.3 people every year. :shock:

Crazy stuff, but IMO the world needs crazy things like this where everyone involved knows the risks. The TT is one of the last great anti-nanny state races in the world. Awesome stuff.
