    Best track in the country from a spectators point of view..
    Could see everything no matter where you were standing.. Its a real shame its closed to drifters.
    Probably more suited to semi-pro cars and drivers

    Although its the home of irish driftin I was never mad on watchin it down there... I was there a good few times for the very last event and it was a sad day but I think prodrift is too far developed so to speak to ever return there if it reopened.. like imagine a battle between carpo and james deane like in fermoy at final round it'd never happen in rosegreen wit the pace speed and angles they carried that day...i think the skill and balls level has just got too high

    When i bought Johnny p's shell there was damage on the lh quarter just at the tail light. I remember watching it that day and il never forget it, absolutley flat coming off the second corner and barley clips the wall pulling out the back lamp and into transition. SAVAGE!!

    lads stop talkin shit about prodift outgrowin rosegreen it was a proper test as there was no room for error as 1 mistake and it was game over would be a faster track than most of wat we have now and i personally think the buzz of comin in off the oval will be beat

    triple k all the way
    sideways mary the bed is narrow

    long story but the owner is not allowed use it for drifting any more because of shity dickhead horsey loving folk,

    he is only allowed use the track for oval racing at certain times because thats all that was stated in the original planning permission .

    I dont think there is any other Track in Ireland as good for spectators and as for wall rubbing Johnny p was well able for it even back then.
