Isle of Man TT action 2008
June 4, 2008I have been watching the TT for over 25 years now and I have covered a good many vantage points around the course. I always had a few favourite spots like bottom of Bray Hill, Sulby Straight and Gorse Lea. This year I have been watching at the jump out of Crosby before the Wagon & Horses and the Highlander which is awesome and also just further down the road pas the Wagon & Horses on the inside left hand sweeping corner down the hill.
Its full on high speed, hairs stand up on the back of your neck stuff and its just what I love about the TT. You can’t beat the crushed grass effect on the hedges and the high speed action and danger that makes the TT such a special event.
Caught a bit on camera and thanks to Steve Plater in the earlier practices there are a few extra skid marks – and not on the road!
Enjoy, long may the TT continue year on year!

Hi there: I have just visited this site for the first time. I lived on the isle of man for 8-9 years, and remember watching the TT during the mid to late 70’s when the likes of Mick Grant, Joey Dunlop, and Graham Crosby (Super Cros) were racing. It is awesome to see that more and more is being done to advertise the TT, as I am now living in Canada and have been since 1980. I do remember when we first came here, that nobody ever really heard of the TT. just like pretty much everything else though in this world, thanks to the internet the TT is alive and kicking on every corner of the planet. Keep it going, as I plan to make a trip back to the island in the future to watch some more TT.
Cheers
David
