Hey guys, here's a link to hours of videos of real road racing at it's best 8)! You don't hear these guys bitching about no run off room, bumpy conditions, or too narrow of a track...that's because they aren't spoiled and pampered MotoGP riders :)!

Yeah, but MotoGP and other proper racetrack races are not dying at anywhere near the rate racers do on road courses.
I was watching that Macau one recently, that's almost worse than Isle of Man. At least at Isle of man you have a chance of screwing up in a field section where you fly across the land but the Macau one is like racing in a concrete canyon.
Yeah, dangerous to the max, but those guys live for that adrenalin rush and are more than willing to risk death 8)! They sure don't do it for the money ;)! It's just a different mindset is all and the fans love it! I worked in a logging crew for 6 years as a chokersetter, not because I had to, but because I loved the danger and tough working conditions. Logging and Alaskan crab fishing are the two most dangerous jobs in the country and the pay isn't that great, but the adrenalin rush is off the chart 8)!! To each their own I reckon ;)!

This adrenaline rush you speak of. Is it something that is bottled and sold to junkies? Sounds illegal.

Instead of dying from hitting a wall you die from diabetes instead.
GM, it's something you're born with...you either have it or you don't, simple as that ;)!
So it's genetic?
