Holy Crap...

I've been trying to lay out a trip to Ireland. Maybe I better add this to the list of things to do while there.

Last year's event:

2008 Kennedy International North West 200

in the towns of Coleraine, Portrush and Portstewart, in Northern Ireland.

8 class races, 4 to 6 laps each, 8.938 mile circuit (35.7 to 53.6 mile total)

Top Speed record is 201.1mph! (measured on max straight)

Record lap speed is around 125mph

And of course, a pic of an Irish gal:

Yep simular but Alot slower.

Hah yeah, but I was scared shitless going from Columbus to Coshocton. Once we got to the twistys it was fine, but that high speed on open roads stuff isn't really for me I don't think. These guys must need a forklift to carry around their tremendous brass balls :o
