Here's a nice day trip for you !

Fancy a day at the NorthWest 200 in N Ireland on 13 May?. You can fly Easyjet out of Glasgow or Liverpool for £9.99 or £7.99 each way. If you can make up a car load you can hire a car at Belfast airport and split the cost, drive up to Coleraine, where you can park it, have a humungous Ulster fry for breakfast and walk to the circuit (ie the main road) for a day's racing.

I've got a car load already flying out from Glasgow (could maybe squeeze one more in) but if a few more DUNortherners fancy a nice day trip and can organise themselves into car loads we could meet up over there. I go every year and it's one of the highlights for me.

More info with the organisers at www.irishroadracing.co.uk .Note that the date for the NW200 is shown as provisional, but I checked with the secretary and he says it's not likely to change as they have already had permission to close the roads for the event.
 
You know what, it scares the pants off me, I know it would be an amazing spectacle, I just don't think I would like to be there live, I have always felt the same about the IOMTT, now since losing Gus (Ian) in '05 I won't go, I know I would get a buzz from it but I just don't feel right with it !
 
If you have never been - please fill DB's empty space.

The NW200 is amazing - in or out of the town it is an amazing spectacle well worth the effort.

The first year I went Jim Moodie's telemetry aboard the Red Bull Ducati showed that he exceeded 200mph on the back straight.

They're not going slower nowadays!

Cheers!

Scott
