R Russ Noble GT40s Supporter Lifetime Supporter Jun 8, 2007 #2 Pretty scary racing conditions. An immense challenge, no margin for error. For the last 100yrs has claimed on average two lives per year. Everbody knows the dangers. That is the attraction and the challenge. Many really top riders have been killed there, doing what they love doing. Perish the thought that the namby pamby dogooder minority will try and enforce their existence in a bland cocoon, on the rest of us! Cheers Last edited: Jun 8, 2007
