I'm certainly no westcoaster but I do remember when this race was a Big Deal back in the mid to late 50's. Usually found a race report and a few photos in regional and/or HD dealership magazines.

Kinda of like having our own USofA Isle of Man GP. Gotta be cool runnings, Mon'

Monte

Isle "O Man -- That's what I thought.

I wonder if AHRMA is going to get in on this?
