Have a great time. I've always been fascinated by this venue. Tiny island, narrow roads, great people and incredibile racing. Look for the flash that might be Mike Hailwood. Hank

I will post some pics and vids.  I saw the vintage version of this, called the Manx Grand Prix at that time and now called the Classic TT, two years ago.  Much easier to get rooms but still awesome.  Looks like the ISDT was held there in '65, '71 and '75 and perhaps earlier too.  That means some Pentons were most definitely on site!
