I almost got *shivers* watching the on-bike camera shots. I don't understand the Superbike racers, either. Insane is RIGHT.

No, I've seen the TT race before on speedvision. I thought they were crazy THEN(in the dry). In the rain - it's on a totally different LEVEL of crazy... I saw the 'tribute' to Joey. They had a lot of nice things to say about him. Yes, this has been a TERRIBLE season in motorsports... :( Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +69.95 Never argue with an idiot.
