She has got nerves of steel to race the Isle. I met a side car team at the F-USA and CCS races at Barber. A guy driver and a female monkey. He has raced the Isle for 10 years in the side cars. He said that someone had died every year. It takes guts to race those small, narrow, winding roads.

Yes there are skills involved, but without the guts, they wouldn't be out there, expecially with the death rate of people in this race. They have lost ATLEAST 1 racer every year, sometimes 3-5 a year. Its a very dangerous race.
