Prodrift round 1 afterthoughts

[B.Egan]

Epic weekend! The mx5 caused alot of stress for us, but massive kudos and thanks go to Paddy Brennan and Will Creighton. The lads worked miracles to get the car running properly before practice. Also a big thanks to Joe Fahy for the transport and backup! Same to Paddy Macken and the brother also for the helpage.

As for myself. Well I messed up practice......big style. Couldnt get one decent run, especially on the second clipping point. Clutch was just gone. Was fine once the car was going, but couldnt get the power down if I slowed, and no hope of a clutch kick. But first qualifying run I actually got a mint entry, 58 kph speed through the next bit, too much angle meant I had to straighten for a bit. Second run I got too aggressive and spun on transition. Came 45th AFAIK, dont know where in amateur. Standard this year is mental though. Nick Quely, Famous JH, etc. amazing driving lads!

But got loads of good advice on setup from Mike Fitz and co. R888s may be ditched on the front I think, and more lock needed, but I seriously think the car has potential......and I just need more tracktime to use it.

Saturday night?.......apoligies as per usual to anyone I abused, danced on, or ranted shit too. Highlights that I remember/was informed of include D Mac ranting afterwards lol "You drive a girls car........handicap", "Hondas......VTEC.......Handicaps" etc haha!! Nice ta meet ye all again.....apart from them tyte slippin bastards of course!

Roll on Fermoy!

Serious craic of a weekend lads and a great way to start the year! Was great to meet and have the craic with everyone, both at the track and in the club! Bopping FTW!!! I was gutted when I was told I wouldn't be able to drive with the hand (the doc said if I drove I would defo need an operation) as Jules Chambers had prepared his S14 for the weekend had I been able to, but in the end up I was delighted to be up there commentating with Dave, the man is a pro at what he does and after a bit I just settled in and enjoyed the drifting. Thanks to everyone for the support. Unreal level of driving in all classes, was great to see different cars like Trixta's MX-5 out there, roll on Fermoy!

How does Dave not know what he's on about??

[LAGGER]

Daves a great addition to prodrift and a very neutral commentator, mike is a competitor so he knows what he is talking about when it comes to the twin battles
