The TT continues

[crawford]

The island, up to this morning, has been bathed in sunshine making the early evening practices a bit harder to shoot. Very bright with patches of deep shadows which spread as the evening progresses making auto-exposure a waste of time. Going full manual was the only way to go.

First a couple from the Pre-TT Classic races at Bilown (Southern Hundred Course).

Those 2 passanger cars are crazy! Imagine getting in an accident with one of those...ouch!

Looks dangerous! But certainly fun :p

#3 wouldn't want to get his knee much closer to the curb.
Great shots, and for some reason I really like #7(2).

Oh man, I have always wanted to be a swinger (on a side chair) that must be one hell of a rush :D. Wish I was there great captures.

[Swiss Toni]

That's a wonderful shot of John McGuinness (#3) but what the hell is that travelling marshall doing in #4?

[crawford]

Thanks Guys.

Unfortunately no racing this weekend due to bad weather.

To make up for this here are a couple of photos from last nights practice.

#6 Cameron Donald - fastest lap ever on Thursday, out with a dislocated shoulder on Friday
