Wasn't around

I would if really liked to see it. Y'all a bunch a crazy bastids. Can you elaborate more on the IOMTT? Is it a once a year event? Whats it take to qualify? Etc, etc...

its not that tough....just 37 miles/220 turns laced with walls, lightpoles and of course a mountain...to qualify you need to do a 100mph lap(95 but you have to race in an orange vest.

The Isle is like Dayona and Mardi Gras w/o the police.

Its worth the trip to either race or spectate.

Those mattresses strapped to the light posts offer great protection as well.
