North West 200

WOW!!!
I thought the TT was good, but this is just something else.
Stood behind a wire fence and only 2 ft from the track, you have no idea how scary it is when the pack come storming down the hill in close formation at 160 mph.

The pics below show the 250 race.
Michael Dunlop won only 2 days after his dad was killed in practice.
Michael is No.3
The pic below is a blow up of the first 3 approaching Portrush on the penultimate lap.
Michael is 2nd (hiding)

The pic below is 50 yards later. Michael is hidden in the middle. You can just see his shadow.(the speed is about 140mph, but braking like hell for the chicane)


This shows the final lap and the pass Michael makes to win.
These show just how close you are. Taken on my 'phone. (Turn your volume up)











And finally, a shot of my old mate Dave Taylor.(#86)
