Any one local to the area may have heard of this but there is a new Go carting track opening shortly just outside collon co.meath.

I went up today to have a look around and got talking to the owner, his planning permission only allows for karting at the moment but said once he gets started he would be open to the possibility of drift practice sessions.

I commented that the track would be a bit tight for competition/twin battles but looks like it might be good for practice, to which he replies, sure take the car out and try it! The track is pretty long with lots of transitions but the 350gt wasn't exactly suited to it:D


All in all a good spot to keep an eye on for the future..

A couple of pics of the track, excuse the phone pics.

I didn't get his number but he did say he wants to open and see how the karting etc goes first before he look at anything else.

He said there is lots of room for future expansion too as the track that has been built is on 12 acres but the plot he owns there is 40 acres!!:eek:

There was enough room to slide the 350 around too(and even spin...slightly:o) so a car with a bit more track manners would have no problem!

It looks even better from the air, The big long sweeping bend heading out the back would be a 3rd gear drift with no problem to the right car.

Its also got a briefing room, garages and upstairs viewing area with resteraunt nearly finished!! He gave me a tour of the whole place today.

Yea its a savage looking track I got talking to the owner in Dundalk at the opening of the Circuit of Ireland.He said he was gonna start the karting 1st and when he gets going and the neighbours get use to it he was gonna move on to drift and tack days aswell.I have his leaflet here somewhere il take a look..

The surface had only been tested so far by the north east karting club I think it was he said. The surface was pretty slippy today but then its was also pretty dusty etc.

One thing I dont understand is 99% of the time I think these people complain because of people messing on the road. I just dont understand it if you have a place like this respect the fucking thing leave the messing for the track and take it handy on the road FFS!

That is one serious looking track the guys brother was up at our track last year remember him telling me about it wasnt expecting anything like that thou,who ever is doing the talking i would deff reccommend saying it to him about going the right channels with planning and stuff cause if he starts drifting and someone complains there is no chance of getting planning but if he applied now the locals might not even notice the application gone in.

everyone pitch in like 5k and buy the house on behalf of DI, invent an irish version of the drift matsuri, and make it a base for drifting.

Well if there's issues concerning getting planning for drifting or whatever type of motorsport a real good way to turn the decision round is to tell the local authorities that your renting the place to a load of travellers.The planners will turn thier decision round very quickly when they see 100-200 caravans rocking up in thier locality and having a place to stay that they can't be moved from.

Unless this is the plan?..I've heard it work before a few times.
Otherwise..gems idea:D

if the pikys are in there is only one answer this had to be done before now its abit messy but didi the job perfect! you get 3 mad bastereds 3 tractors 3 slurry tankers full of the finest shite you can get!! and just do laps of the camp till they on there way!!! works a treat and it prob dont leave as much of a mess as the pikeys



that was done down ere about a year ago ..they wernt long about movin then haha

fukin hell lads easy on the traveller bashing this is a public forum ,ye wouldnt do that to a dog what youse talking about

*back on topic*
i was up at the track the other and it is looking mint!all kerbs are painted safety barriers all round and grass sown and i have to say the likely hood of him letting a bunch of driftcars out to wreck that looked slim to me unfortunately:(
like there was two fellas out there practicing and seemingly they were the only two lads in ireland that get paid to race!they had a huge rv yoke like youd see in the f1 or something and i cant imagine theyd like to see my wagon or some garish sbody rollin in to lower the tone!

anyway on a optimistic note the day i got talking to the owner he said he was looking into the drifting and said the "clubs" would have to get together and put forward a case study or such like and approach him with it

If the owner is looking for a case study or something along the lines to be done then one should be put forward by Driftireland.Get in the door early so that driftireland would then be able to majorly influence how things go in the future.
If the first few drift days that went on there were DI days out,that way shams and messers coming in from outside could be avoided and would put a good foothold for future or longterm DI relationship with the track owner.

Things were looking very bleak for drift days at WGH a little after it started because one day there was a load of messy shams up there in the grass for most of it and tearing the place up.
After that they were very reluctant to leave it happen again.

First impressions and all that craic.

With the way tracks are going in this country losing a minter like this would be some balls.
I can help if needed in doing a case study or whatever,working at a track where drifting has been held among other events and being "behind the scenes" and seeing what organisers/owners like and do not like,money that can be made etc. could be useful in this.

Prodrifter86
30-06-10, 17:30
feck this! thegosson better keep a bed for me cuz i want to go on this ! haha

i think maybe the DI lads shud have a meeting with the owner and chat about having us using the track etc......

Instead of making it legit, couldnt he let like 20 at a time only, everyone throws 50 for the day, tidy profit, and if anyone asks he could say its just all his mates.

20 ppl isnt too much, maybe 15 to be safe!!

its all well and good saying it his mates but have you ever heard them noise off 2 cars drifting dont mind 20? first complaint and he would have to knock it on the head and answer to the local Co.
not worth the risk at all untill he get the go ahead for it to be done

where you on thr track?has anyone driven on it?

I've driven it but I didn't really think any of it was wide enough for proper twin drifts.




on a side note, we are wondering about planing for drifting etc and how noise regulations would come into play.

Right now I'm in my garage, surrounded by very quiet countryside, and I can hear the race karts going around this track......

.....I'm 16kms away!!!:eek::eek::eek:

No, when you leave collon heading north you will go around a right hand bend followed by a left had bend with a right turn on it sign posted for Dunleer and the M1. Its just down that road on the left.

was at this with one of the competing drivers, he loved the track as did the other drivers..
the only problem being the owners being worried bout cars going off on the grass
other than that its great track with good facilities and car park
