AMA champion hoping to raise profile of three-wheelers
Sidecars are firmly embedded into the foundations of the TT races and there's hopes the spirit of the three-wheelers can be translated across the pond.
That's according to Larry Coleman - a three-time AMA national sidecar champion and AMA hall of fame member in the USA - who's visiting this year's racing fortnight.
He's on Island for a third time with the aim of providing more exposure of sidecar racing in the United States.
Mr Coleman says right now on the other side of Atlantic they're viewed slightly differently:
Football: Marown take vital win for first prem points of the season
Rugby: Douglas stretch home streak to three wins
Hockey: Vikings A knock Valkyrs A out of prem title race
