The IOM, don’t know what to think about that.
I mean, it used to be a stop on the GP circuit.
Was it the great Agostini that first refused to participate?

Drag races. That’s another one.
I mean, who is the quickest this year in drag racing?

I believe that’s Gaige Herrera. He has won the last two years. Last year was his first year in the came.
He’s running a souped up Busa.

I dunno.  Here’s 63 year old Larry McBride running low 5s.
Supposed to be a clip of him out there running that thing in the 4s.

I think so.  They are spouting off at the mouth about being
fastest ever, history and whatnot.

If it is not 1/4 I’ve been misled.

Yea . 2++ miles p hour in 1/8 Mile might not even be livable thru
But I didn’t see where it said . Some drag races aren’t even a full 1/4 mile anymore

I noticed that looking around the drag scene the last few days.  

I did notice a lot of the super speeds and times happen
just a few miles from me. Virginia Motorsport Speedway,
or something like that.

Might be worth a weekend to catch these top of the top.

I was watching drag racing the other day when it was mentioned the track was shorter then 1/4 mile.
I forgot why.  Am going to say they run to hot and will burn up if they go whole quarter.
But idk

I heard somewhere the gotta launch within a certain time.

I’m thinking they’ve gotten so fast, that long a distance
they would be breaking 400mph or something.

[hacksaw]

Maybe .

Well that’s not a TT in that video   , cool race . But not a TT . It’s mainly on tarmac and no jumps. It’s hooligan or twins ? I like it . But it’s not a tt

Whst i meant was bring back the TT has part of some national championship . Of course iom isn’t national but a road course thru town and country would be …grand!

[motogrady]

You are telling me that tt racing is part of the grand national championship?

Because that’s my gripe.
Nothing  to do with anything else.

Bring back tt to the Grand  National championship .
I thought I made that abundantly clear.

There is no grand national championship.
There hasn’t been a grand national championship since the 70s.

During the 70s they, the AMA, could not make money on road racing. So they just gave up on it.

The new, and current AMA administration, broke up and sold the rights to run various types of racing to others.  

It’s a long story if you guys want more I’ll tell you.

But right now, the GNC, AMA wise, ain’t gonna happen.

Not to say we here at Cyclevisor.com couldn’t.
Plenty of organizations run their own Championships.

It’s just they, The AMA, has such a following, so much history, it is they where the masses go.

We had planned on going to this race. But, the weather didn’t look good. I was for sure it was going to be rained out. Later that night I was kicking myself for not going.

[hacksaw]

Doh!
