Prodrift Rnd 2 Fermoy 2011 Afterthoughts

[DaveZigen]

I've literally only recovered now Great Weekend!

Had 20mins (If even) sleep before hitting the mic on Saturday due to finishing a set in Dublin late but the talent and commitment of the driving from the amatuer and semi-pro guys woke me right up!

Delighted that my Bro's MX5 finally worked (and didn't blow up)
And delighted that Eoin O'Sullivan is where he belongs, in Prodrift!
Proud of Sean Manning and Pat Masterson finally getting the rewards they deserve for the effort they have put in and the talent they have behind the wheel.

To all the rest of the competitors on Saturday, you all gave me plenty to talk about and showed the future of drifting in this country is in great hands

Considering I was booked for a hotel in Mallow and ended up sleeping in a hostel in Cork City (6 of us in a 4 bed) the head was ok on Sunday.

I thought the team drift was awesome and as Richie the Marshall said "it was like letting new-born calves into a field for the first time" Lunatics!

As for the pro class, excellent driving on a very technical track and it really goes to show you can throw any combination at these guys and they nail it by the end of the weekend.

Delighted for Chris Brady, deserved a podium, and congrats to Mike Deane on the win!
James Deane, as always, incredible!

I tried my best to build the atmosphere to the point of losing my voice but I understand that it is a long 6 hour event each day, there were a lot of hangovers and it was bitterly cold on Sunday.

All in all another awesome round.
Huge thanks to my partners in crime, Mike Fitzgerald and Darren McNamara for joining me on commentary, had such a laugh
And to all crew and staff for all the help

See you all at Round 3 (Which looks like, because of the long track layout, that it could be absolutely epic!)
