One of these days I'm going to get over there to photograph races in the UK, of all variety.

Here in the States, my favorite race is the Daytona 24 Hour Race. It's run on Daytona's "road circuit" and is exciting as Hell. One of these days I'll go to the Daytona 500, but I actually find NASCAR to be pretty boring. Here are a couple of shots from the Daytona 200, which is motorcycle racing on the road course:

Granted, it's not as cool as Islae of Man, but it's still pretty cool for northeastern Florida...

I have relatives there, been to see the TT twice. It is awesome.

It's hands down the craziest race on the planet!
Since the first race in 1907 255 people have died.
You have to have balls the size of grapefruits to participate.

Participate? Shit, I won't even stand too close to the road! Those guys are nuts!
