First off...... Awesome weekend! Fair play to everybody involved! Bart and all the guys involved in running, judging and organising the event should all take a breather and realise that what they achieved for grass-roots drifting in Ireland this weekend was a huge leap forward for practice days and amatuer drifting in this country. Loads of track time, cheap entry and the feel of real competition will do wonders for some of us just getting into the sport and looking for fun and to improve our skills under little pressure in a relaxed environment. A complete success and I won't name everybody involved (they know who they are) but every one of us that went down had such a laugh and left with a big smiles on our faces! :-)

My car on the other hand was not quite right, suspension, allignment, tyres, clutch, lock and just about every small thing that could hamper me, did! But I still had a great weekend and it was a good tester to find out what needs to be uprated/changed. The big success for us was my bro Brian's (Trixta) MX5 drifting like a little rocket after all the work/late nights that went into it! (mechanic Paddy Brennan take a bow)

ps. A massive thank you to Al H for bringing both Good Luggage cars down....hero!

And an apology for my lack luster commentary towards the end. Had a week of 5 gigs, 2 nights out, work on the car, 2 days of drifting and no sleep. Was fit to drop when I got on the mic (fair play to Joe Fahy (pole drift) for the speaker system) but really enjoyed the action on track in the last 16. Could go on all day about individual drivers but the standard was savage.

Roll on the next one!
