Hi Gary, I was ringing a few of the lads and everyone is over the moon with the new date, mixed feelings on wetting the Track, some of them loved it some not, but everyone of them is coming back no problem there. Suppose might as well start a new list

THE WATER TANKER. Having read various comments on forums regarding the use of the water tanker at aghadowey I have an idea which I would like to put out for consultation and comments. Firstly a bit of background on why it is being used, and why it may be a necessary evil.
Portlaoise Drift- Cancelled due to noise
Balbriggan M1 Drift -Cancelled due to noise
Mondello Drift Practise- Still going strong (Using Tanker to wet track)
The Complexities of setting up a drift practise involves local council approval. It is not just a matter of turning up at the track and doing what you please. My proposal for wetting the track is as follows. (Oldskooler Kinda Touched on it).
First half hour session is wet, with a choice given to drivers if they want to drift our sit out. Hopefully after the wet session the track should be well on its way to drying out with a bit more grip for the next half hour dry session. First session after lunch will be dry session having allowed the track almost an hour of drying. (The wet session will see the whole track being wet not just the corners)
Open to comments and suggestions:)
Phil if you can make it down again, That would be great.:)
its in the diary so probably will go unless something comes up:wink:

UPDATE.
Less than 2 weeks to our next Drift Day. This will be our last day for this year. With plans well under way for 2012. We will be operating a form of open pit lane on the 22nd. Which should guarantee you maximum seat time. More details to follow soon.:)

Yes Harry there will be no groups this time. 20-25 Cars on track at anytime. I will still be at the start keeping control of how many cars are on track at any time.

1 Week to go, This is the last one this year. So don't miss it.:)
Yes Harry there will be no groups this time. 20-25 Cars on track at anytime. I will still be at the start keeping control of how many cars are on track at any time.
20 or 25 is to many as you could see when there was 15 or 20 on it the last day we were all caught behind each other.
Is the tanker going to be there this time
Thanks JapScrap. This the feedback we need. We will limit the amount of cars to 15-20 at a time. Yes unfortunately the tanker will be there. But as I have stated we are trying to work things out so that we can cater for everyone. There are some issue's that we are not in control of ie. Water tanker. But Mondello does the same at their drift practise. But be assured we will keep working to improve upon our drift days.
Another thing i was thinking could you not group the cars together by bhp so similar power cars on track at the same time.

Good idea or just by driver experience
@ diffan
in order to keep max track time like the last day dont get carried away with competition it starts at 3 this time might start at 2 next time and without you knowing it you have a drift day based on the competition and track time is shagged but keep up the good work every one knows how hard it is no mater what you do some one has something bad to say the gang of us will try get up next year for a day.

Thanks lad. thought after the second run the day i'd be puttin the car on the tralier, over boostin and took forever to find the problem.. when we did she went good. thanks to all was a good day bar the rain, so much for worrying about the wanker tanker LOL:D:D
thanks to all organisers off this event, esp in yest weather, had fantastic day, prob 1 off the best days driftin :):grin:
had a great days craic in aghadowey, had to leave at 1.30 but got more than enough seat time, big thankyou to the organisers i'll definatly be back next year.
I hope you all have dried out from yesterday. Big Big thanks to the Staff, Marshals and judges who braved the rain and helped make the day the success it was. Well done to Greg Daly on winning the competition. Great 2nd Place dylan Harte and of course everyones favourite V8 Neil Henry on coming 3rd. But the overall result was the success of the day itself with smiles all round even though the conditions were far from perfect (rain and more rain). One driver actually clocked 77 miles of track time, which is 77 laps of the course. Proper competition, Loads of track time what more could you want. 100% PROOF Drifting. Gary.:)
glad to hear this went well must take on the long journey up myself the nxt time round

Just been chating to afew driver's there in the last few days, and we were talking about what people got for 1st 2nd and 3rd place in the comp.. I know it was only for a laugh on saturday, but for next year it should be that if you finish in the top 3 you should get sumthing back...
trophies 1st 2nd 3rd

Sumthing along them lines, im only giving feedback here to help the event for next year. The bit of the track that was been used to score is perfect and works well as people can see all the action..

Totally agree. Saturdays Competition was us dipping or toes in the water (Literally) . The competition was a late addition. But we had to be sure that it would run properly. Now we have the formula set in place we will progress with proper prizes etc. Thanks for the feedback and we would encourage feedback positive or negative. Remember this is your day, You pay your money. This is 100% drifting for 100% Drifters.:)
agreed was def a good section to use, maybe start the comp a bit earlier aswell?
This is up to you guys. We can run aghadowey as you require. We could run drift practise up to say 1 0'clock, Competition after lunch. And if time permits finish off with more track time.:)

I like the sound of this, it also will leave things better for the poeple thats watching. Early practice for competition followed by the competition... Then drift away to your sick of it LOL
Keep drifting fun some take it too
Serious dunno bout anyone else but
A have as much fun in the wet as the
Dry am only ever drifting cause a
Enjoy the laid back atmosphere and
Havin the days Craic and that's why
A loved aghadowey.a run my own event
How a like them to be run so the drivers
Enjoy the day without gettin too
caught up in comps And trying to run the
Days to a time schedule
@m3con
i know exactly what your saying and where your coming from, competition can be a bit off putting for some esp if they have never done it before but i think if you add all the factors together from the last event i think the comp was a success and added to the day. for the first time to run it and have so many drivers i think shows that there is room for it in aghadowey, and i would say that 50% of the drivers that took part in the comp were never involved in one before.
its a dangerous thing to get into, lol one min your tryin to keep things cheap and fun, next min you know your spending thousands and in full comp mode....STRESS
but then again its down to the individual, for me full competition is fun, yes its stressful at times but then when you are in the middle of it its hard to beat the buzz. for me a structured day is what makes it interesting, ie a few practice laps, qualifying, briefings, battles etc and to be honest i rarely take the car out now unless its a competition because to me practice (as good as it is) i get bored rather quick, esp if its wet.

Thanks Chris, I really cannot add to this. This is pretty much where we are coming from. With competition there is loads of track time. As stated before we had one guy do 77 miles on Saturday (77 Laps).:)
as much as some people love competitions id sugest just keeping it to the same times as last time 2 hours as alot of the people that go to aghadowey are going for practise etc as there isnt many tracks up round here that give u that for the little costs. just my suggestion :)
Any more pic or vids of last sat????
Yes practice is boring for fully built
Proper drift cars with experienced
Drivers behind the wheel . practice days
Are for novice drivers and amateurs to
Have a days drifting without the pressure
Of spectators watching their every move
And encourages people that have never
Drifted but would love to try the opportunity
To decide for themselves if it's the sport for
Them. Jus saying events shouldn't be geared
For what is the minority if new drivers are not
Encouraged to enter it will never be thought
Of as proper sport which is why it's so hard
To get premises to hold events and keep
Them open
@ diffan
in order to keep max track time like the last day dont get carried away with competition it starts at 3 this time might start at 2 next time and without you knowing it you have a drift day based on the competition and track time is shagged.
This is a post from jap scrap page 8 of this thread and this is exactly what is happening. If it goes the same way as bishops court a pile of sitting about eating up track time I think its a waste. As for the 77 miles you have to remember the car is spinning most of the time so will be a good bit less.

You drift in front of spectators anyway lad. no better way to get the hang of it. when you get stuck in with every1 else. last day out there was a young lad in purple 180 that never done a drift day before. He finshed 2nd
I would encourage every1 to give it a go no doubt, you dont need a fully built drift car either, i drifted a sierra for along time before i bought the skyline. Won alot of events in it.. like castlefin nutts and bishopscourt..

27-10-11, 20:51
Sorry just 2 add 2 all that, experienced or not.. everyday is a school day your always learning new things everytime your out...;)
I know this u know this but ta get men ta have a go that havent
Done it before is the hardest thing in the world but once they get
One run out they are hooked but once competition is mentioned
They're not going to enter
Dont think aghadowey is ever going 2 be anything like bishopcourt, u would never get the track time for the same money and for this being my second drift day in my car the track time was great and the comp was chance 2 c how i was doing in my car, plus everything is run as smoothly as possible considering this was only the second event, look at bishopscourt... how many years has it been running and you still have to sit around for half an hour everytime a new group are going out on the track. Aghadowey gets my vote anyday!!

27-10-11, 21:18
2 be honest lad thats up to them weather they want to enter the comp or not, theres no preasure that way.. if the comp is run earlier it really makes no differance as the track time will still be the same.. Anyway we'll leave it to the poeple thats running the event to decide whats going to happen.

It was me in the Purple 180 who came second last time, it was my first time on track and I had a great time, I loved the fact we could go out and have a great day on the track then have a competition towards the end of the session, gave me a good feel for what things could be like if you enter a proper drift series.
It was my first time twinning or even competing against anyone else, I was actually sitting there shaking on the start line however the adrenaline buzz was fantastic.
I would like to see a competition happen again as it was a great experience, my only thought to make things even better is to do the competition between 2:30 and 4:30 giving people 30 mins out on the track towards the end of the day, I noticed last time things were slow in getting lined up etc at the start, maybe have the cars sitting waiting to go before there turn so it can all be sorted quickly and smoothly before 4:30?
A was at the last event and loved it and deffo will be
Back for the next jus would hate ta see it turn into the
Same as everywhere else where it's just about competitions
And sittin about waitin
Thanks Guys for the suggestions, opinions and good comments. This is what we encourage. As we stated before we are 100% Drift. We do what we do purely for the love of the sport. There is arguments for and against how different formats should run on the day. I for one have not a problem running a drift practise all day, It would be less hassle. But Having travelled most of this year to drift practise days at Mondello, Portlaoise, M1 Balbriggan and Castlefinn it soon becomes clear that drivers having been to these events say more than twice are looking for a new challenge. This is where we thought yes maybe a competition may add a twist to the day. Drift Practise is the priority. Competition is choice. If we feel that competition is starting to eat into the drift practise time. Then we will run competitons on a completely separate day. But to be fair I think we have a good balance at present:)
just get another one going soon i want out again b4 the year is over lol its al gud just as long as every 1 has a good time

26th November ;)
just another wee pointer, noone is being forced to enter the competition, infact i did mention to the organisers and some drivers that even they are not confident enough or dont want to enter a show/road car in a competition there is no problem, but what i did say was why not do the qualifying side of things, its basically what everyone has been doing in the practice sessions only difference is you get a score.
could be a bit of fun for people not wanting to twin battle but are interested to see what kind of score they would get etc.
i started in my road car doing test sessions in bishops court, then was kindly allowed to practice the udc tracks with the pros, then i progressed and entered qualifying, then entered the comp and now im glad i did as i would never have got the potential from the car or myself if i hadnt and im still learning every time i sit in the car
martydumpvalve
29-10-11, 21:56
i loved the comp side of this, i know i got put out but it was my own fault and learned from it, it gave me more of a rush doing qualifying and in the battles than the whole day but that was just me, bring on the next one! any bloody pictures about?
Bump for any pics of this day
