American T.T. star Mark Miller is stuck on the Isle of Man because of the travel chaos caused by Superstorm Sandy.
He was due to travel back to Los Angeles via Manchester and Washington earlier this week to make final preparations for the Macua Grand Prix.
But the severe weather on the east coast of the United States and Canada has led to wholesale flight cancellations.
Mark is now booked to make his journey on Friday.
He says it is worrying to see what is going on in his home country from so far away, especially as he doesn't normally pay attention to news programmes:-
