Isle of Man has been going on since May 29 for the true thrill seekers. Sadly there has been a death this year but it’s to be expected. Craziest race in racing.

Has about as much dialogue as John Wick4 and I am perfectly fine with that.

The Nascar Camaro is faster, by quite a bit, than all of the cars in GTEAm apparently.

Would like to see what it would do with a full tilt 900HP RO7 under the hood but that wouldn't be likely to make it 24 hours. It's only running around 670HP.

Go on YouTube and watch videos about The Alabama Gang (Davey Allison, Red Farmer, Neil Bonnet).

I want to say this was when the channel was Velocity, I caught some races late one night. Couldn’t sleep and watching sure didn’t help. Ended up watching all night. Those guys are way past nuts.

Listening to the Hypercars and then suddenly hearing that NASCAR motor roar by is something else.

The car finished 39th out of 61 entries. There was a lengthy pit stop due to a driveline repair that hurt the team.

A good showing for the team and I hope the building blocks of something bigger.

The sound of the Camaro vs the other entries was incredible. There's nothing on the planet that sounds like an American V8.

If they do this again they need to let Doug Yates build the engine. He can make one of those 900HP monsters last 2200 miles. His father showed him things about V8 engines very few people on the planet knows. (RIP Robert)
