The thing that amazes me is how popular road racing in general in that area of the world, and how it has its own group of "pro's" loyally going at it.

I haven't been yet, but it's definitely on my "bucket list". I did help with a fundraiser in 2007 to send my motorcycle dealer to the 100th anniversary race. He had raced there in 1960, on a Yamaha 250 2-stroke. He had limited success; Yamaha had not gotten the racing thing figured out yet, as they had only been making motorcycles at all for 5 years, at the time.
