Hmmm, could be a good thing. Isn't this the event from
which AMA pulled sanction because it's so ridiculously
dangerous? My in-laws live along the race course for
the TT, so I've driven it quite a lot. Absurdly narrow
roads, acute bends, and your only run-off is a stone
wall topped by an oak tree. OUCH! It's incredible, but
I think the racers AVERAGE about 120mph on the course.
I love fast riding, but you couldn't get me on that
course at race time for love or money.
Just as an aside, it seems that there's usually only
about one fatality per year in the actual race. Most
of the carnage (3 or 4 casualties per year) usually
come on Mad Sunday, when they let amateurs run the
course as if they knew what they were doing.
