So...$5M? Win the lottery, it’s mine!

They are showing trackdays scheduled!

I swear if I was rich enough, I’d buy it--assessed value of $2.3 million? For 2.5 mile paved track, facilities, and the other paved courses on site?  That’s a screaming deal! You couldn’t buy the land and build all of that for anywhere close to that price.

The track is unique in that its 2.5 miles are subdivided into seven smaller tracks...” 

Everybody on a sportbike motorcycle: “8-9 lb/hp? And you paid how much for that lead pig?”

2.63 seconds?? That just will not cut it in 2024!

Ever since Ryan came out claiming motorcycle gear armor was completely ineffective, his videos are worthless. Doesn’t matter if he was correct or not in this one (didn’t watch it), he’s not a reliable source of factual information.

Relax--that’s what’s known as a “joke.”

So...0 to 100 mph?

I get that (unfortunately). But a car? And for over twenty years?

Internet: “We could care less when a person comments on a post that’s over 3-1/2 years-old. Keep up!”

You are incorrect:

Early 1980's USA-model Volkswagen diesel pickup truck. That thing was a dog (and not in any good ways, either)! Glad I wasn’t the owner of one of those.

Hot tip: when you are approaching such a car to pass, hold your foot on the brake pedal, it over-rides the ACC. When you lift your foot, it resumes speed.

Every time I watch an onboard lap of someone racing at the IoM, I feel like it’s a video game replay that’s been sped-up 3X normal speed. I’ve never gone quite 300+kph but I certainly wouldn’t do it on such a narrow road completely lined with deadly obstacles.

I’m not sure you know what “Calvin Ball rules” means.

Parallel or perpendicular to the engine intake?

So many sports would benefit if they switched their official rules with Calvin Ball rules.

I’m just saying that at the distance, given the engine and current power-level, that one begins to feel the slightest bit of pull regardless of other factors.

Hold my beer!
