:( but dont like the idea of just "top" 8/16 drivers... I would like to think I would be able to attend too. There are also a few good drivers returning or have not be able to attend events this year to achieve the top 8/16 ranking, which I would like to see them in an event like this.
And yes mix and match judges/media teams :D
top 32.......
Cezelli Productions FTW :D
BOOM Danyalsan!
I reckon it would be great but both organizations like to be in full command, drivers, tracks, media and fans wouldn't be a problem I'd say. But Prodrift have a style that works and so do UDC, hard to create an event with so many 'cooks' I'd say, maybe not?! I'd be game ball if it happened!:)
A PD vs UDC comp would be great, like 1 a year! On the Sat the ama/semi's vs and Sunday the Big Boys! But i think it would be better if one year was held in Bishopscourt and one down south..........Bishopscourt is an amazing track, for the PD drivers that have not ventured up, its a must! The organisers & drivers are sound and its cheap and well organised! Wayne could organise a comp his side one year and PD the next! Fuck this top anything Drivers, just Pro's and Semi's/ama as normal..........great idea
PS The Northern accent is spectacular, imagine the piss ups with the hott Northern skirt, aye
Would be a good idea - i remember competing in some of the first 'Irl vs UK' battles in Rosegreen - used to bring out a good crowd, and Banzai and Japanese Performace mags both covered them too
How cool would a PD vs UDC vs BDC battle be :P
Dont forget about JDM and EDC :)Quote:

An example of this is 3 top udc driver's Chris Brady,Rob Barnett, and Richard Bradley coming down to prodrift and they get put in with the non seeds... On the other hand Danny Eyles andPolo came over for city west from the BDC and got put straight into pros.....!
If they don't recognise the please tell me why would they even bother with them....!
you make a good point robbie.Quote:

Im not saying that prodrift need UDC im saying that it could make for a good eventQuote:

Combined judging panel at each event. Combined results from 2 events determine the overall results.
PS, lots of haters out there. Unhelpful for this thread and unhealthy for the overall scene
i dont get all the posts saying prodrift dont need udc,, who said they did or that udc need prodrift,, both are well run championships that have top drivers tht people would love to see compete again each outher for the entertainment factor,people need to take a step back and see this as a source of entertainment for the drivers and the fans who turn out to support there favourate drivers
Exactly! i'd even go so far as to say FACT :pQuote:

think it would be good for the sport, alot of people from the north dont travel down south for pd events as they dont kno wat they are missing, this way it lets people see wats going on all over ireland and there for more people and coverage for both champships! i cant see this ever being a bad thing for the sport just good good good good so why not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
exactly i just want to see chubby and Duaine. against all the top PD ladsQuote:

how hard would it be for us all to organise it then, see'n that there is so much interest???
Don't forget about Barry McCann, Joe Doyle, Seamus McCoey and the moffet brothers and othersQuote:

Thats what this event would be good for, as i know most, if not all of the UDC and northern boys. But only a handfull of southern PD guys.Quote:

ive always enyoyed udc,, great track time and machines yes they have only bishops court but they can change it around
ive done a few of the udc events and had a feckin ball!:D!! serious track time and wayne is a gent!!!! aways comes over for a chat and i love the track!!! serious speed;)!!! was ment to be goin up next weekend but sadly sallys engine gave up in cork last weekend!!:(
Much appreciated there sir. Pity you'll miss this next one, but there'll be plenty more ;)
They only have 1 with a load of lay outs and plenty room for more how many do prodrift have only 1 aswell mondello and a few carparksQuote:

PD FTW!
What would be the right job would be to invite the top 10 from prodrift the top 10 out of bdc and the top 10 from udc as a final event of the year and ask for 1 judge from each to come seperate them and no contact between them then the judging has to be fair it would cost a fair few quid to do it but it would be one hell of an event and i think people from all sides of the country and the uk would come and see this.
Less of the cock waving lads!!
There needs to be a UDC vs PD round :cool:
I have nothing bad to say about prodrift i really enjoyed the events i went to this year and better they have got but punch citywest and fermoy are car parks not tracksQuote:
