Thanks for sharing. Another awesome IOM vid to add to the list. Most appropriately named sport on earth-these guys have to drive front end loaders to the track so they can bring their ***** with them.

When they called the race for rain, I was long since throughly soaked ... The guys mereley pinned the throttle and kept going... "It's just a 'moist track' with a wee bit of wet", was the general consensus... Rain in their language means a small river across the road from a decent sized torrential downpour... What I'd call a "wet track", they call "moist"... And what I'd call "flooded", they'd reluctantly agree on being "wet" if you pushed the issue...
But it's true, there is a lot of footage there from the 500's... And no, the Irish aren't much more sane than the IOM locals... The defenitions are about the same, only given with even less understandable dialect...
