Thanks. Most of the riders take that bridge much the same way. Two wheels waaaaay off the deck :)

Paul,
These look excellent for quality,and show good action.
The last two are the pick of the bunch,and the sidecar combo.
Great stuff.

Hi Gilly

Good selection of images, the good thing about the TT is the number of different locations for good shots.

Ballaugh Bridge is great for action shots. Didn't get there this year but no doubt be back there next time. A real shame the king of the jump there, Martin Finnegan, is no longer with us.
You had the same trouble I had at the Bungalow (damn porta-loo getting in all the shots) and the low cloud of the Monday morning race.

Some paint job on sidecar 38.

Thanks Steve. Its an amazing event. Even with the many restricted areas these days, you can get so close to the action.
The best racing in the world in my opinion :D

Thank you very much Alan

I've only been to Ballaugh bridge twice now & yes, Finnegan was the best. Closely followed by Wade Boyd.
The mist on the mountain played havoc with my settings. a real pain. & don't get me started on the friggin porta-loo :D
Decided to go there for the Senior too, but shot from the Museum side instead.

(yeah, the Reptile Racing sidecar turned some heads alright :lol: )
