    Great pics! I like the 'safety third!' aspect of the old pictures, especially the Morgan running 24 hours with a sweet looking harness and untriangulated roll hoop. I'm sure the headlights were like candles, but at least he doesn't have a full face helmet and visor to obscure his vision LOL.

    Yeah the Morgan was the strangest of all the pictures I had. It looked so out of place next to that Corvette.

    Here's some Sebring pictures and then that's the end of my stockpile.

    A quick break from Sebring pictures and a swerve back to bikes and the TT, since I recently heard a story I was fascinated about.

    Name:  serge-le-moal-honda-2004-ultra-lightweight-tt-13705034.jpg
Views: 212

    This is Serge le Moal, pictured at Quarterbridge during 125cc practice at the 2004 Isle of Man TT. I was listening to a podcast the other day with one of the Rider Liaison Officers and they were talking about the training they do with newcomers to the TT. The course is wildly dangerous for experienced riders, let alone newcomers. One of the things they do is a controlled lap behind one of (3 I think) RIOs to get familiar with the course at closer to racing speed. I never thought much about it, but the newcomers lap has only been a thing since 2005. Prior to that, you showed up, got on your bike and off you went. This is Serge le Moal at Quarterbridge. It was his lifelong dream to race at the TT, and in 2004 he got his chance. You can see his orange bib which indicates that he is a newcomer. Without seeing much of the background I know this is Quarterbridge. It's a right-hand turn, and Quarterbridge is the first right-hand turn of the course, 1.6 miles into the 37.73 mile lap. le Moal ran wide at the next corner, a left-hander at Braddan Bridge, crashed into either a wall or a tree depending on which source you read, and was killed instantly. Less than 60 seconds and 1.8 miles into his dream TT, one right-hand turn and one left-hand turn and it was over.

    Starting in 2005 all newcomers are taken on a controlled lap before the first practice, as well as several laps by car in the months leading up to the TT. Both to increase their familiarity with the course, and to gauge whether or not they're mentally ready to run at race speed.

    I thought it was a really interesting story, and an even more interesting picture being that there was such a small window to photograph him on track. Unfortunately he wasn't the last rider to die at their first TT, but his death led to a much safer start for riders to come.

    Yeah as dangerous as the TT is now, it used to be something else. It used to be that the race runs, no matter what. Recently I posted a picture of Joey Dunlop in the rain and that was only inside of 30 years ago, not long considering the first running was 116 years ago, and today they won't run the race if the course is wet, nevermind raining.

    Last of the Sebring pictures, then we can get back to bikes because I know everyone likes that and the World Superbikes season starts in 3 weeks.

    That's cool. At 2:50 you can see what looks like a Delta 88 in the lineup but you don't get to see it go.

    Here's a picture from the Cookstown races in Northern Ireland. Not sure of the riders or the year, but I think that's Michael Dunlop on the inside and if I'm right about that I think it's probably around 2010.

    Even Switzerland still does Hill races. They're a ton of fun to watch. Wish there was something nearby.

    Knox Mountain Hill Climb in Kelowna isn't too far away. I dreamed of competing in that, but it's too srs Bidness for a guy like me.
