No more race fans?

[mickdel]

Is there no more race fans out there?    I'm a mad fan of pure road racing my self and go over to Ireland to wach them.

yep, but tend not to look in here due to spoiling the races for myself cos we only get the motogp live, every other race is on a highlight program and we're not often up to date.

Can't watch road racing, too scarey The MotoGP has been a bit F1 the past couple of years and the most interesting racing I find is the BSB.

I may be going to Ireland in July 2012 to see the Skerries 100. Went in 2010 and was hooked, in my opinion much better than the TT.

hi mikdel
I too love the Irish scene haven't been over for the last few years. Went over to Skerries '03 ' 04 and Tandragee '05. The group of mates I went with started to do europe alps trips which were out of my price range so haven't been over since. Want to do Southern 100 but not sure if it will happen this year. What races have you been to?? I'm sure you'll agree once you've seen a real road race track racing seems rather tame. . I know hes a bit of a Marmite bloke (love or hate it) but I would love to see Guy Martin win a TT.
 
A mate of mine recons the Irish racing won't be around much longer on health and safety grounds. I hope he's wrong .I've been to two races where riders have paid the ultimate price one travelling marshal had a seizure on a sighting lap the other was a racer at the Tandragee. It makes you stop and think. But then I try to imagine the buzz they must get riding so close to the edge. We rode the Skerries "track" before race day I took Gillies leap at around 90. The litre bikes are speed trapped at 140+ on the back wheel down that section. We need the speed and the danger be it as the 1% who have the balls and ability to ride supersports bikes to the limit on country lanes or the 99% sat in the hedges watching in awe. Long may it continue

Beginning to get the bug for road racing, having watched several races on the telly, albeit, highlights etc. Would love to go to some of the Irish races or even the Isle of Man, but money dictates it'll be Scarboro this year. Maybe next year......

Me to. I would love to go over to Ireland and watch the racing, I'm sure it would be a good craic, but find watching it scarey.

I'm going to Sachsenring for MotoGP again, mainly because it is a good <whatever the German for craic is>,  the ride there is good. Then a few about 10 BSB/WSB events.
