The Ballagarraghyn section of the A1 Douglas to Peel road was part of the short Highland Course (40.38 miles) from 1906[2] and the also the 37.50 Mile Four Inch Course used for car racing including the RAC Tourist Trophy car races held between 1906 and 1922.[3]
A section of the Douglas to Peel road from Ballacraine to Quarterbridge, Douglas, including Ballagarraghyn was used for the 1905 International Motor-Cycle Cup Races.[4]
