Good Day,Heavy rain made it hard on the lads I'd imagine!
Hopefully all stays good and the track can be used for many years!
Security would be needed round the startline before a child is under a car!
Waaay too many kids running round!

So the diff didnt work out but still decided to give it a go. One wheeling everywhere lol, and generally all over the place. Hydro worked mint though.....which was about the only positive from my first day drifting! Probably need to make a compromise and raise it a bit and not as much camber. I'll come up with a plan, but at least I learnt a bit about the car. Very snappy for the few times I got the chance to try a transition. But cant wait to get the diff in now and actually attempt to drift, as I still really enjoyed the day. Cheers to the brother Dave Zigen for letting me have a few goes in his S13 later on, the difference was amazing.
Mine and Trixta's first time out but loved every minute of it! Terrible understeer with stupid Nankangs on the front and Hydro didn't work properly as the lines had air in them but learned so much and must say Wes at WKD worked wonders with the car, handled like a dream! Pretty nervous at the start but got into it as the day went on! Fair play to all the organisers, it was so well run! Will be making this a regular fixture :)
great day today..
thanks a million for everyone who turned up..
really went perfect...
if ye have any comments or that on things we can or cant change..
PLEASE PUT THEM UP..
we wanna make this a regular thing..
hope ye all had a ball..
cheers:D
bart
Nankangs up front = understeer = fail.
Twinning with Nixon and jay = close sliding = win
Bart for organising such a great relaxed fun day out = EPIC WIN!!
Hooray for bart and crew !!!!!!
Just put a roof over the track only change needed lol,ah no dude great day again fair play.Quote:

Great level of driving there today, Eric is the rx, nice.......Jay and Donal twinning was nice to watch, Stevo loving the roar off the tramper! The bimmer was a handful, between a shit ratio diff, slipping clutch and either too much or too little grip it was hard but i had great fun....wish id clipped the container tho :( Must say the day was very well organised, drive thru chipper n all....fairplay Bart :)
PS Mick k is real and your a Bollix :)
Drive thru chipper was the job haha, nothing from cat = loadsa noise, had same thing aswell chuck once it hit around 5k revs clutch was slipping, welded diff going back in for the next day lsd's are wank but once the rain in the afternoon came i was happy out :cool:Quote:

Well done Bart + all involved in organising the event.
As a venue the place has so much going for it.
Had 1 or 2 good battles with Dan ;)
Cant wait for fermoy next weekend now :D
I'd alter a few things with the track layout.
Replace most of the cones with painted lines + let the track cross over itself ,use the cones mainly as clipping points.
It'd allow you add more distance between turn 1+2 also you could come back into middle after passing the containers after turn 3.
using them containers as a clipping point :cool:
I'd agree with a groups idea, it'd allow lads to watch other people or change tires etc rather than spending all day sat in a que.Quote:

the thing with group's is you'd need a pa to announce the next session i'd reckon
i think that the next pair of cars could be let on when the others had passed half way through the course rather than when they are completely off it. it'd certainly speed things up a bit
i hav a PA system, we could get Dave on the mic for it lol :D
yeah i had fun in your yoke alright, cheers for the spin;)Quote:
