NEW DATE CONFIRMED Aghadowey Drift Sat. 22nd Oct.

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

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
