Title: Irish road racing
Post by: MAXX on October 24, 2013, 04:44:46 AM: Any Irish people on here involved in this crazy sport?

300 people something died over the years in that race. F*cken crazy. But looks like an amazing adrenaline rush for sure.

The roads they race on are far from a race track....there is no sand or gravil pit to run into, you miss your line or mess up and you smack into a wall. End of.
Majority of the roads are in terrible condition too. It has a somewhat small hardcore following here.

I've been to the Isle of Man for the TT. It's as crazy as the Northwest 200.

Must be a really intensive adrenaline rush but I can't understand how people are willing to take the risk.

I'm not even comfortable riding my bicycle in traffic. :-\
