its like anything .....it looks great and scary when you watch it on dvd or the net
but until you see the speeds they do going past you ....with your own eyes standing within a couple of feet through sections of road that usually are 30mph .....its indescribable ....these guys have the biggest set of bollocks....over any motorcycling racer on the planet.....  | |

what the hell are you on about 2 DEATHS PER RACE that bollocks !!!!!!
its a 2 week event
the first week is practice (set up really)
the second week is race week
5 races in total in the race week period .....
2 dont die every race .....that is ridiculous 
you are saying then 10 die every year .....not even 2 die every year

While I think this race looks pretty amazing...that stat alone makes it sound pretty stupid.

237(number of deaths) / 92(number of "events" or races) = 2.57608696
