Isle of Man movie from 2010

[dogman dan]

Now viewable on Netflix, the movie Charge.

It's a documentary about the 2009 electric time trial races on the Isle of man. Very amusing, since it's the first, watching them try to figure out if they can even finish a lap, will the motor go up in flames? More similar fun in the last part, covering the 2010 race.

Cedric is a hoot!

I watched it a few nites ago. It was a good quality production and very entertaining. Of course, i will watch anything thats related to the IOM, i have nothing but the utmost respect for those riders.

No kidding, pretty grim near the end where they list the this years fatalities. Wow, somebody dies every year for sure. I watch a lot of nascar races, and get real used to seeing incredible wrecks they walk away from. Or motorcycles racing on a modern track like the new one in Austin TX. Tons of room to slide one out.

Isle of man, it's rock walls right there as you exit turns. Serious clanging while they walk with those iron balls.
