Yet Another Track Question

Is Kiltorcan Raceway in Kilkenny still doing drifting or did they put an end to it?
Even drift practice? Reason being it is only 30 mins from me and would be handy - been a few years since i was sideways in anger so would like a few practice days before going back competing :)

Also, whats the crack with Goldstone - is there set drift days up there or can you just book the track and work away at your leisure?

Finally - the drift days in Mondello, do they get snotty if you slide off a few times or are they ok that way?

Sorry for all the questions :D

Have little experience with Kiltorcan. Ask Ffrenchie. He has a good relationship with the guys there.

Goldstone have regular drift days or if you want the track for your own personal use they can facilitate that too no prob. Just give them a bell.

Mondello got a bit peed off with lads sliding off allrite but they decided to put tyre walls on every corner & wetting them also which did work but I for one have not been back since. Maybe its changed now Im not sure. Ive just not been.

Presuming he started with no front bumper.

Ok its an improvement but I wouldnt be holding my breath into that bale with 2 new S15 headlights & a new front bumper & carbon fibre bonnet.

Maybe I should learn to drift without making a mistake lol.

Cheers Wezo - Might give Brendan a shout and see what the crack is.

Martin only lives a couple of mins out the road from me here so i might drop out and see can he get me sorted with a bit of track time in Kiltorcan with no crowd watching - bit nervous after 6 years......
