This race has averaged almost 2 deaths per year for about a century.

That’s one hell of a brutal race.

These races can produce extremely painful deaths.

I love to watch those races because they go so incredibly fast but I don’t watch to see the crashes. I know they are dangerous, but to my knowledge, no one is forced to ride.

Leftist do-gooders have been trying for decades to shut it down, but so far, they have not succeeded. That’s one reason to support the races.

My guess is the races pour a lot of money into the island communities.

Officially, it’s not a part of the UK, despite its proximity which may be why it has survived for all these years.
