What's behind this? I heard a while back that it was looking likely but never told any reason. That Kiltorcan place or somewhere really needs to get into this niche now

That's a fair blow for drifting :(
When I rang 2weeks ago, they said they were working on the dates.
Is there any chance he'd hire out the track if 25 lads got together.

Personally I cant see the connection between d-rift + practice days.
Alot of lads that went to the practice days never competed in d-rift.

didn't they get around 80-100 car average each month?
the reason they couldn't run more drift days a month is because of the noise levels. to be fair drifting is a noisy fucker. if neighbors complain( like what happened in rossgreen and now with mondello) you are pretty much fucked

I think every option needs to be explored before excepting ,it's closed for practice.

i think we should try the same with all the other tracks around mondello etc they might open up a bit more to it there is 0 support for this in southern ireland its all about fuckin kickin balls,round and oval and everyone else doesnt matter especially (BOY RACERS MAKING NOISE) sure how would the place be any other way with a big thick like brian cowan running the place lord im only annoyin myself thinking of this

Have u met the man?? Theres no genuine reason, he doesnt like drifting thats all!

23-02-10, 23:59
its prob down to complants,, he prob tnks its better to make a steady income with karts than a quick buck with drifting and get shut down,, best put by mondello the last day when lads complaned about wetting corner, its eather a wet track or no track:(

Havnt met him no. But sure what the reason he doesnt like drifting, lads dirt dropping and ripping up his grass, spectators tearing up and down the local roads going to practice days, people drinking (ive seen this at practice days:rolleyes:!), insurance, noise complaints...could be any of those reasons why he doesnt like drifting. As was said earlier in the thread he doesnt mind the escort lads going to it, which would indicate its something to do with the crowd drifting brings in. I know the other day in goldstone even, i overheard somebody going 'go and lock your car, check out the lads that just arrived' and even lads started hiding away tools and shit, thats not the kind of thing ya want when youre running a business thats been previously succesful in previous years!

But here, how much does he charge in for spectators at d-rift? he makes a raping surely, especialy with d-rift moneys, merchants etc. But if theres none of them, sure the little amount of money he gets for the practice days probably isnt worth it if hes payin the pricier insurance etc. Its all level headed stuff imo

i woulnt even try it!! im sure pd tryed for a long time to get a venue in dublin, so lets face it a bunch of lads showing up in weled up trampers is not going to help holding on to tracks/ locations for drifting in this country

from where i see it it is not the track owners who are to blame it is the drivers drifting is going down hill fast!! no one has any pride anymore i would say there is more shite box welded up "trampers" than proper drift cars look at it from there view a lad shows up on your door to practice in a car he has spent alot of time effort and money on he is trying to learn new skills and cares about his car or a lad shows up with an omega with a welded diff to go out and hit off stuff around your track who would you let out??????

I agree 100% with what you said gem! Thats the problem now is people getting shit boxes, welding the diff and away ya go, its fine if you dont go out and act the tool & have some respect about the car you drive/drift, but there is some people just going out and wrecking there 'tramp drifter' and its looking bad for the drifting community and getting the lads with the proper full spec cars a bad rep, which is also going to lead to track owners not letting the use of there tracks for drift practise!

Like there is different between a cheep drift car with somebody trying to learn some skills & a cheep drift car which is basicly getting death till it blows up, having no respect for the car or other drivers on track!

*Not having a go at anyone or directing it at anybody, but just having my say!

24-02-10, 02:11
alot of the problem is the noise, its the same story everywhere... mondello, tullow, wgh, etc etc... they`ve shut the local hot rod club down for noise pollution a few weeks back:eek:, ell the other places may close and mondello might stop the practice days, there`ll always be stones witch is a savage little track not as big as mondello but all about the drifters and the respect should be paid back. theres never a day john won`t go out of his way to sort you out if you break the car he`ll store it SAFELY until you can come get it.

TULLOW, same applys, big flat concrete yard. again maybe not a patch on other places but the commitment to regular joe soap no matter what he`s driving, and a bunch of drift nuts only to happy to get a lad skidding.....



i think in these times of tight budgets and ever de-creaseing options its these kinda places that should get the support

Guys you fail to consider that WGH may only have planning for karting. If this is the case one complaint could have the place closed down for good it it get to the legal stage.

Maybe Dave dose not want to loose his investment in the place.

Calling him names is really just goes to show that you have no respect for the place or of his decision.

Right lads, sent kartworld an email this morning asking did they have any idea when the drift practice days would be starting up again and this is the reply i got:
''Hi Tom, The dates will be going up on our website soon, they have not yet been confirmed, so just keep a look out.''

Guys you fail to consider that WGH may only have planning for karting. If this is the case one complaint could have the place closed down for good it it get to the legal stage.



Thats exactly what happened with rosegreen, no planning for drifting only karting & then when people complained they hadn't a leg to stand on, thats the main reason it got closed down!

Two sides to every story and all that, so lets quit the name calling and see what transpires over the next couple of months.

@markos: Its not 100% certin at the moment, we'll just have to wait and see do they put the dates on their website over the next couple of weeks www.kartworld.ie.

I rang them this evening.
Receptionist said dave is undecided about running the practice days.
They have got a good few calls about them,I was told to keep a eye on their website.

I think if lads continue to ring + e-mail them ,he might run a practice day.

What's behind this? I heard a while back that it was looking likely but never told any reason. That Kiltorcan place or somewhere really needs to get into this niche now

tony in kiltorcan wont run these days cuz when D-rift was there for a round after kiltorcan was re-done! a bunch of Dickheads pulled down some of the brand new fencing! and he said he wont be holding a drifting comp ever again!
wudnt blame him eithier! and also that alot of rubber on the track may piss off the irish and british kart racers!:)

Fredericks Balls

Ok well to ad my 2 cents to this. First off ive never been at any WGH drift days.

I do know Walshie since 1992 though, infact I bought my first kart off him etc etc.

Firstly, as Peter pointed out, if hes making big money from drift days he's hardly going to just stop cos he doesnt like drifters or whatever. At the end of the day money is money. Its a business for him.

It could be that he hasnt got insurance to cover this and to get it now would be too expensive, or that the track doesnt actually permit this.

Noise is an issue there, always has been, even for karts. Its in a valley and you can see the houses around. Whatever about karts and racing cars but with drifting you get a different type of noise (i.e. tyre noises etc) and maybe this is irritating locals more so than just the noise level. Who knows. Either way if its become a legal matter he's not obliged to tell every one the ins and out of it which is why nobody knows for sure.

And just to clarify, im not a fan of Dave. He treated the karters like crap in the past, and again was all about money and power then, so Im not on his side, but i can safely say he wouldnt stop for the sake of it.

Best to wait and hear the full TRUE story eh...

Lads theres a few things , i know dave with years used to work for him, and live 5 minutes from the track.I spoke to him about this over christmas and wouldnt blame him if he stopped the drifting

- There was poor numbers turning up to days, only just over 10 before christmas

-Noise is a major issue, why put a venue under risk for a €800 , over just abit of drifting, i wouldnt bother with the hassle

-Burnouts in the pits(There is kart dummy grid there painted int he Tarmac)They need that for kartign events.Burnouts in general just warm up the tyres on the first lap, ive seen people tke tarmac up on karttracks just doing burnouts!!!

-Dirtdrops, in the grass, we all think its cool, but just stay off it

-General drifting on the way back out of the venue, people speeding, all the local neighbours go mental over it trust me!!!

Ive seen it happen in the UK a people expect practice days every week ,venue gets overused, no one turns up, practice days get diluted, track owner either gets pissed off with the hassle, or the council close them down for noise another venue lost

My advice, starting getting a list here, set up a driftireland paypal service, get a mod to run it
-Prebook on here
-Need to fill 30 bookings at least minimum
-Book dates before an event of PD Week before
-DONT have dates every month but maybe every 4-6 weeks

All money paid upfront before each practice day €3000 + whatever 10 dates a year - €30k , he aint gonna turn that away

Im lucky im in the UK and have 25 + venues to access but ye dont really have an option anymore with so many tracks been closed in ireland and mondello/bishopscourt being the other only major track available for hire /events

if ye dont sort your act out soon, there will be no where to drift, and its kind of down to this forum

Maybe if you got the number of cars required as definites first and get a depost off each driver. Then email WGH asking for a day and tell them you have so many comfirmed cars with non refundable deposits paid.
Have a rule like up the north where all cars have to have full bodywork and are tidy enough so as to show your man we're serious and not just a gang of lads in €400 trampers wanting to wreck the place.

well to be honest there is a select few that wreck it for everyone but it's hard to screen out them people and rosegreen whent arseways because of this wouldn't blame to man for not wanting the trouble prob make handy money out of karting and paint balling with far less trouble. i know it sucks that all the good tracks are gone but thats the way it is in Ireland motor sport is looked down on.:mad:
