I thought the track was excellent, and i thought PD tried to maximise tracktime Saturday and running 2 drivers in practice is also a great job.
It moves things along faster and people not used to twinning (me:p) get a feel for having to concentrate on another car aswell as your lines.
Roll on next round
You may turn down the boost lad, WAY down :DQuote:

was a great weekend of drifting and great weather 2 go with it normall rains on pd rounds..
the judges were a joke running rounds again that shudnt of bein run etc,,
its only names 2 the judges not how good of a driver you r..
their was a good turn out comparing 2 other rounds of last year weather played a part in the crowd also
i thought it was unreal yesterday and today:)some unreal drifting went on:D
yeah i agree with that there was some bad calls in the judging panelQuote:

the reason the crowd doesnt get behind the drivers i think is that the real characters are gone...ffrenchy and johnny p are a huge loss..and the unusual cars like tommy mcdonaghs volvo..mcgoverns manta and ur man from mayo(cant think of his name now) in his green mk ii escort
had a great day but PD really need to do something about the atmosphere! we were lucky enough to be stand beside the the lenihan family and have a bit of banter with them basically cheering for any one but the 3 lads, but it was by far the strangest PD event i have ever been too
i didn't think they got any calls wrong in the head to head but the scores for the super lap were shocking!
Ye I agree. The household names don't be around anymore.. And off topic but seen few members cars today think I seen jap scraps car going out and seen gem's 13 too I think and I love it.
I think its a lot to do with the judges they are very one sided they have their favorite drivers and thats it. Seems like this topic comes up a lot after a round of Prodrift. If you ain't friends with the judges its hard to do well. Like Mondello last time out Sinnott vs Kearney how many times was the ran again till dean spun off. Sinnott had it won clearly and was just ran again and again. Its a joke they should have new judges. They were saying about some drivers being off form all weekend then when Darren Mac does shite they blame the car?? Just think its a case off "not what you know its who you know". Other than that was a great day and savage weather:DQuote:

I couldn't hear what some of the judges were saying at all.
A speed gun on the entry "with a point given for the fastest entry" would have added to the excitement.
As a drifter:
I loved the track, 3rd gear entry:cool:
I qualified 12th + was against "gem-s13" in the top 32.
I ran too tight+ straightened a few times on my first run.
The 2nd run I got close to gem a few times but didn't do enough to get through to the top 16.
Looking forward to round 2.
wheres round two on again !! :confused:
Another thing that pissed me off was the lack of the whole results tent thing!! For one you know who got through and second its good craic!! Milo just had a sheet and barely even told drivers who was in!
Punchestown ladQuote:

Savage track,Good turnout,some stupid decisions by the judges as usual,one twin battle in particular today which i rekon a lot of people think the same,prodrift need different judges,every round its nearly the same judges and they have favouritism towards some drivers which is a total joke,im surprised darren wasnt left through after his spins even :rolleyes: Some things never change i suppose.......
Had a great wkend thanks to micko for lending me his pride and joy,didnt know what to expect never competed in a skyline before but i loved it and the track, was un luckey wid intercooler pipes kept blowing off and kept me from finishing twin battle.
One of best things i seen all wkend was mulvey changing his box throwing car up on its side this was dedication, he hasnt lost any of his skills or bottle.
Their was a funny atmosphere alright and a few unsure results , was well impressed wid shane o sullivan, he s upped his game, mike and christy was a good battle, sinnot unbeliveable as always immense angle and smoke and crowd did appreciate his overtakes. james deane has put his stamp down firmly again he s hungary for another title, hope he can show some of this in jdm allstars,give them somthing to talk about other than big remmi:D
Great first weekend, lots of drama yesterday with Brian getting alittle carried away with a backwards entry in the Compact:D pity a few cars had big offs though like John Macs M3 and a few others eariler
Huge crowd today but I think the lack of atmosphere was due to a few things like the sound quality from the judging not that great, some odd judging at times which would have any spectator confused. Fair play to Peden and Eric though as their decisions on a few battles was better I think even if the majority was against them.
Think he weather needed to be good and big crowds at the first round so it will help keep the interest throughout the season
Guards being check points and sneaking around the pits towards the end was alittle much though!
There was points going for speed on the radar yesterday as John Mac got a few extra with his entry speeds.
Think it was something like an average speed was found and then your penalised for not keeping within 5mph of it but not sure if they used that system in the end
Any idea what the average speed or John Mac's speed was Dave ?
had a grate weekend some weather seen ste r34 2 day nice motor. some crack yesterday qualified 14th and got to the top 16. made shit of the back of my car though but what about it roll on round 2:D
