Holy crap the BMW is fast.  He walked away from guy martin
On the straights during the super bike race.  Dunlop set a new
Track record which was bested by the guy who finished third if
I recall.  At least guy got a 2nd.  Damn I wish he would
Get lucky and take a win this year.

I tell ya ... Anyone who can ride a modern bike with the
Throttle pinned on that course is special.  The tv coverage
Show the houses and trees going by faster than my normal
Brain can register ... Info overload for a normal person.

Bruce Ansty was the guy who set the lap record on the last lap.  He was flying for sure!

Cameron McDonald was way down on power and speed so he didn't have a good superbike race at all.  I think he might have had engine issues as well.

Might have to try to tie a WSBK Donington Park Race Weekend/IOM TT Practice Week trip together next year if the schedules line up like they did this year.

It still amazes me that Guy Martin is a truck machanic, and just races on the weekends mostly.

Brandon out of the superbike race on the second lap with clutch issues...
The same issues in the superstock race.

Apparently Larry Pegram had clutch issues with the EBR at Road America last week too...

It was likely me being ESL, but I had very hard time understanding Guy when he was talking, when I watched Closer To The Edge  drink
