    I'm not very familiar with the race or details, but it looks like he's running 27th in Superbike: http://www.iomtt.com/~/media/Files/2...0Superbike.pdf

    Which seems pretty good in such a large field.

    Interested that he's right behind the Bimota. If he could beet them, that would give some bragging rights.

    Here's an on-board video of a lap of the Isle of Man from Mark's EBR from 2014:



    Isle of Man is a small island off the coast of England. The race is run on city streets and country roads. One lap is ~38 miles. For the actual race, you complete 3 laps, which requires a refueling stop.

    It looks pretty insane, but MAN would that be a rush!

    BTW- Mark posts daily updates to Facebook. First day out they had a clutch issue apparently caused by soaking the clutch plates in different oil than they're running in the engine. Fixed that, then had a minor vibration which was found to be caused by not torquing the rotor bolt properly. Running was flawless after that. Yesterday, got the suspension mostly sorted so the bike is handling the rough pavement well.

    Hopefully we'll see big gains now that he can get down to business.

    Crap- no Facebook update from Mark today yet.

    What's the difference in "DNF" (Mark) and "retired" (Brandon Cretu, Mark's former teammate)?

    No idea, lets just hope its not another engine failure or dropped valve.

    This indicates he was still running on the last lap; he must have had a problem very late in the race:

    Maybe he ran out of gas???? It looks like he had a good pace up until the end.
