Ken, I don't have a capability to record, so I can't. I am sure it will show up on line. It was pretty awesome, one crash where the one of the teams kissed the wall and spun out then got thrown from the rig, but they were fine. Leader was cruising then lost the motor. Lot's of passing which is hard on this course for hacks. Good stuff! Watching those guys come over the hump and get the whole rig in the air was pretty nerve racking!

I've been listening to Manx Radio online and got the turn-by-turn reporting. :loveit:

Had to reschedule a couple of meetings to make sure my listening was uninterrupted too :harhar:

finally found it on Comcast and hopefully got the DVR set in time. :shrug:

I found clips on Youtube
Here's the crash I was talking about


Here's the whole race! Hacks start about 11 min in, the first 8 min is a summary of the Superbike, which is cool! Then 3 min of interviews with the hack pilots then at 11 min, the hack race.

Regrettably the super stock race claimed it's second fatality yesterday on the last lap. Another rider died in the Supers port race. Prayers to the families. They died doing what they loved, riding hard and fast.
