So was at PD today (sunday)
Just got there for the Qualifying .
Dan Moorhead your a legend. we were standing at the start line , dan comes in stops up besides up and goes : " yes fuking 1st." i said savage lad fairplay. oh by the way your back bumper is hanging off" dan says " oh yeahhhhh i hit the wall but i cant get out of the car" he just raised his hands and he was shaking with adrenline . haha..
Dave you were on it again. even we there was a stop in the Competition you were easy to listen to and it made it very layed back and easy going...
there was a big shake up after Sinnott went out etc.... and other top drivers which was exciting...
the Crowd was low at the start of the day but slowly picked up. but our group were trying to get every1 going by shouting and clapping and celebrated like mad on the bank at the back of the track...
i could go on and on about what was best and what wasnt. but i come to a conclusion that the Man who reli is the hero of the day was : MIKE FITZ!!!! wat a legend , really just had a mazzive smack into the wall . got away with out breaking his ankles and jumps out and onto the roof of the car.. i have serious respect for you dude.... Balls out Award goes to you.
on the Judges: i have to say after all the complaining about the judges i have noticed they explain every little thing on why they hav given there score.

Some steering from you yesterday lad!
I wasnt there today. :(
savage day but bitterly cold....
congrats to james on claiming the title once again, well deserved and imo his run with christy was the best battle all fuckin yr amazing drivin from both guys....
i thinkin brendan stone may have suprised a few peeps this weekend and would be great to see him compete next yr...
biggest downer on the day for me was seeing poor mike fitz crash his car, car is in a bad way but thats not important, more important to know mikes ok he was holdiong his back after exiting the car and dave announced that the drivers foot well was badly crushed in the crash so fingers crossed mikes ok...
ROLL ON PRODRIFT 2011.........

It would be good if they could have more than 5 rounds next year
Fantastic end to the 2010 series, battle of the day was the Nexen pairing of James and Christy, crazy stuff. Unreal driving all weekend across the 3 championships...
Heart goes out to poor Fitzy, an absolute hero of a man.
Thanks to all the drivers and their crews, media, and anyone else who has been involved all year... been a pleasure to work with ye all, except for the feckers who fed me 5 too many shots last night, today was a sick one to say the least.
Hope to see gangs for some Driftjam sessions soon and dont forget the "gathering" in November... Its gonna be a long wait but roll on 2011! :)

Congrats to James Deane on his win.
Big well done to Brendan Stone and Damien Shortt, serious day out of the two of them.
Carpo and James semi final was Epic.
Was so sickened for Mike Fitz, car was a wreck, hope you recover soon mike! :)
Pity bout mike deanes turbo going bang, im sure he'll be back.
Must say the commentating at these is top notch compared to most motor events.
Yowdy man i love your car, its mint!
Anyway great end to the year
Roll on 2011:)
was a shit weekend for me!!! i have to say one thing mulvey should not have been put back to the none seed he won pd pros twice so why should he be put back down there???? james spilane was driveing very well and was totaly robbed by him on Saturday he hit james car and still went trough judgeing was way off on that!!! as far as i could see the rules were changed the last 2 rounds as soon as mulvey entered he was strait in to the pros but got a free days driving on the saturday, and the "NO CONTACT" rule he hit james car and the judgess did there very best to think up an excuse on how to let it slide and then there were 3 more battels with contact made between drives and the proper rule came in "contact made means 10-0!!"
best part of the wkend was mulveys car running over him!!
some grate driving from lads on sat! wasnt there sunday
brendan stone, james spilane, paul mac,
and congrads to jay, barry and james on the campionships
best part of the wkend was mulveys car running over him!!
U seem bitter? Is this a haha that was funny thing or you were happy it happened him kinda thing?

Was drivin a friends s14!!
Ah I had a spin of it before savage little yoke!!
great day today,
top drivers of the day for me were carpo, james deane and chris brady
brady really impressed me especially when following in the twin battles, always on the lead cars door and one of my favourite cars looks wise in pd this year,
the nexen battle was one of the moments of the day, some smoke from both machines, i was blown away by carpos car, really has to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated
i think dan moorhead really impressed too and the crowd were right behind him, real balls out driving and a serious car
felt so bad for mike fitz, hope hes ok and cant wait to see him next year in action again
a well run event overall and commentry was great, never stopped all day
Great weekend and a great year SIMPLES :D
Shout out to all staff... Been a pleasure working with all ye guys and also the drivers... Thanks for keepin us so entertained all year!
sick i missed it any vids of the nexen battle
I couldn't make it down to this one, I await the Cezeli Productions take of things lol
Congrats to James on the Championship :)
Thanks a million everyone for all the comments and everything, just home from hospital and alls good thank God. Spent from half 5 to half 10 in a neck brace on lying on my back with my head taped down even tho there was prob no need but I'm glad I went to the hospital now cos I wasnt going to go but the ambulance crew insisted on it. Got a bit freaked bout the neck and back when the doc started talking bout possible fractures but the x rays were clear thankfully, gonna be sore tomorrow tho! Was very lucky to come out with my foot id say by the sounds of things! Ill go into the story of the car another time but lets just say it was only way she would have liked to go out, she never liked going less than 110% and I love her for it.
Anyway enough about me, that was just my master plan to steal the awesome James Deane's thunder, what a year and driver, congrats. Dan Moorhead flying aswell, delighted for Damien Shortt, Brendan Stone top 4 in a new car, Mulveys just mad, great year for Nigel and Sinnott, Barry Leonard, Larry Love, Martin O'Meara, Jay Rockett, Mark Keane and Brian Cotter. Glad to see Alan Lenihan back on top, great driver down through the years and a lot more to come. Thanks everyone for all the craic on and off track, roll on 2011 :)

Great track big bump on entry but made it a bit more fun sad now tho that the year is over but I suppose we all need a bit of time to get the cars sorted for 2011
mike fitz......legend
Another excellent Prodrift weekend with some epic battles and steering going on. Congrats to Champ James Deane on a class weekend for him and also to Jay for winning the amateurs and of course to Barry for the non-seeded pro!
Excellent driving from Brendan Stone also and a great weekend for Damien Shortt. Was great watching Dan and Chris battling too - both lads where like kids each time the headed out to battle - lol. both smiles could be seen even with helmets on! haha
Gutted that its all over :(
Big up Mike Fitz - Sad to see her get such a thump but what a quote!
"Lets just say it was only way she would have liked to go out, she never liked going less than 110% and I love her for it."
Cant get a better attitude than that - if it was me id be crying into my breakfast.
I only made it up yesterday, what can i say? Track layout looked way better than round one, the crowd was poor around 2pm but by 4 there was plenty of happy punters. Jimmy Deane is some man to get the crowd going, me screaming go James and his Ma infront of me, looking at me like i was insane, she always looks so proud ha........
The new commentator Dave is the right man for this job, no shit, just proper information! Very unfortunate for Mike Deane, i could have seen him end the year with a bang! My favourite of the day has to have been Mr Pressure Carpenter, never seen anything like it, definately deserved the podium he got. 4th Gear ftw. I agreed with 99% of the judges calls yesterday for once. Was seriuosly gutted about Mike Fitzs off, usually the crowd love a good crash but there was a strangely eerie silence after the accident, couldnt have happened to such a crazy, non cocky, mad fuker, glad all is okay! Lenihans superlap was the one for me, the spin was proper sickening, man was on fire!
Congrats to James on the win, Barry for a great year and a great finish and also Jay who has shown big balls pay off. Fairplay to Stonie and Shortt aswell, some going!
I definately enjoyed yesterday, after some of the battles i can see a bigger crowd in 2011. Proper entertaining :)

hopefully there will be a much larger crowd in 2011. What prodrift needs is a tv spot on d likes of tv3 or the likes so it can get more media attention. Even if a news paper was to have some write up about it in the sports section like after rallies. I know venues are an issue but if more events could be organised it would also get more attention.

My car did survive the contact in the battle against larry twas only a rub, in the battle against mulvey i hit the bump on the first corner and the wishbone snapped.. I was really happy with 2nd place but slightly gutted because i really wanted another good battle with mulvey!

Ye I wnet down yesterday and had a great day. The battle between James and Christy was very enjoyable to watch. It was very unfortunite about mike fitz'z car but he stepped out of the car and thats the main thing.
Great wkend had in cork, great battles in top 32 on saturday, the skyline for once ran flawlees for the bro, was unluckey against wez, wel done barry on winning the championship,great team effort to get ye back out which i love about this sport,wel done stonie flawless all day welcome back .mulvey has brought somthing back which been lacking i think total agression,awesome to watch except for the roof incident lol glad ur ok.
delighted for dan 1st place qualifier nice to see a change at the top great driving from ye all wkend,heart goes to mike fitz felt ur pain man,made everyone think more abt safety in their cars, judging was good up to brady v shortt battle think chris had it or at least one more time, then shortt hit stone which should hav went one more time or win to stone, they keep saying no contact but rules keep gettin changed every event, this needs clarifying. carpo man on fire, unluckey not to win outright,hardest iv seen u drive that yoke keep it up, wel done james cant keep you down awesome driving,spoiler running on top of wall was jaw dropping stuff ,overall i think one of the best PD seasons yet wel done all.
congrats to the BOYS on team drift win not to bad for a team thrown together at the last minute .
had an epic weeknd,, car ran shit all day saterday breaking down only got out for one qualifyn run,, got it sorted for sunday and had great fun in the team drift,, (cheers franky and sean for runin wid us), congrats barry for the win and carpo was driver of the weekend
