I'll be watching-I've been following the Irish stuff too.

 Almost all of the TT competitors race the Irish events , technically it is part of the same series , even though each race kind of exists separately . A couple of years ago the IOM TT powers tried to create their own series , being a bit arrogant . Don't think that went over very well , since most of the great recent heroes are Irish .

 Trivia question , who is the only American to win a race on the Island ?

 Memory says the G50 footage was done in about 2010 , it just looks old . He blows a left hander on the back side of the course , and is very quiet while gathering himself up . Met Dave a couple of times at AHRMA events , if he was 135lbs he would be famous , looks more like a rugby player than a motorbike racer . Saw him standing next to Dick Mann , a good foot taller

Dunlop scorched the superbike race and set a new track record! Pretty awesome stuff.

Recap Of the sad sidecar race yesterday. God speed.

[giusto]

Dunlop breaks track record on superbike yesterday :)
Wow!
 I think that was a bit of a surprise as he did not have the fastest time in the practice runs... They all thought Hutchy was going to win

[oldbike54]

 It scares me just watching  Merger notice , you guys need to call each other and coordinate a bit better 

 Dusty

[giusto]

 Agreed… I may have started the thread a little too early during practice rounds.
 Maybe John never saw it :)
