[S13..KEV]

On another note i forgot... I heard alot of people praisin Paul whats his names 'Balls out' drivin...

Fair enuf saturday was a little unlucky but Sunday was complete and utter retardation.... Absolutely hammering the tires every time your on track is just stupid!!!

Delaying the day for everyone cas of marshalls running after tires!

Punchestown 2011 was an amazing weekend, Prodrift love challenging people and by fuck it showed. That track was scary fun but didnt seem to suit me and i was very dissapointed with my driving but sure.........My fav drivers of the weekend were Eoin O Sullivan, Famous Jh(wat i saw of him), Nick Quely, Paul Mac, Young Duane, Brendan Stone.....pretty much everyone, Donal Vaughan also impressed alot, he handed me my ass on a plate and wud have beat me only for a little tip he had. Some entries from him, speed wise. Eoin o s is nuts, lad we are going out to the wall are ya coming??? Ha ha.....

Had my first ever 5 minute rule, nearly killed 8 ppl in the pits trying to drive in......HUGE thanks to The Di Crew, was in such a rush i didnt know who was there, so all the lads that had my car jacked in 6 seconds n wheels changed so fast THANK YOU.....that also includes Mrmagoo, Pt_y2k and Niall Mac who all nearly died from a heart failure running from the judges tower to the pits. Love all you guys.

The session sat night, holy shit, 5% beer, nakedness, shower vids, humping on window sils, bars of soap, free club, 3 way kissing, Dmac, Minters, Kissing everyone, dancing, mini buses, hen's and Nick Quely......was fukin unreal..............

Quote of the weekend, Sunday morning, MrMagoo to Niall Mac, "lad shes so fucking hott id actually suck you off..............."

Wtf??

Roll on Round 4

Haha some man chuck! Me and Tim raping the jack in under the diff, no regard for seeing if anyone was under the car haha...cans down chuck up!!

Brilliant event. Was nearly a pity I was driving sat and had to miss so much of the action. Watching the carnage coming back in on trucks was strange. Also the guy in the red s14 who went into the racecourse fence, wtf? I was next on line and just couldnt believe what I was seeing.

Eoin's a hero, simple as obviously. Famous JH and Quely are exceptional this year. Willis's attitude along with driving style are an example to anybody. And on and on. Too many to list and nearly too many ppl to cheer for at this stage lol!

As for me I was fairly delighted, as if nothing else I continue to make progress. Qualify 19th and lose top32 in fermoy. Qualify 17th and top16 in Punch. So happy out, lost the head a bit against Duane, but felt I had to try something special or mad to have a hope to get through, as he was always going to leave me through the final long corner. Had only watched Senna the week before and his famous quote of "If you no longer go for the gap.....you are no longer a racing driver" might have stuck a bit too much with me lol!

Amazing track to drive though. Jap style flicking over the crest right on the cone, no hydroing anywhere on the track, mad snappy transitions while going towards walls (including a 360 spin into the tyres lol). It was chaotic and I felt I was really battling to not bin the mx5 this weekend especially, and alot of ppl commented and noticed the suspension travel and setup etc not being "ideal", but absolutely loved every minute of it, and just wanted to try and go harder and faster each time. Not being able to go from second back up to 3rd after the infield killed any real hopes of nailing the whole outside line of the track sadly, so top 16 was about as far as I could hope for. As much as the car holds me back with problems, I still gotta give it a serious amount of credit for taking the sheer abuse I gave it for the weekend and it not complaining much lol! When it works I cant imagine any other car being as fun with the roof off trying to scrape towards a wall or other car while a waterfall of smoke and rubber floods in on you....just deadly tbh!

Round 4 should be mental. Now I gotta try top 8 haha!! Although clutch kick entry may be an issue for me. A "Small flick" could do a lot though lol!!

ware to start! friday went out with a 3.9 was grand for a few laps but then with rubber laid down i just didnt have enought power for 3rd gear and my clutch went got i changed in a 20mins! did next session was ok bit of wall rubbing! but still wrong diff so put in a 4.3 and was spotty dog! went out very last run car bogged down a bit i put it down to low petrol level and went home happy enough, then sat morn went out 2 laps done the car bogged down again so in changed the fuel pump and filled it to the neck went out did a lap stil the same went in checked a few more things back out another lap and the car went mad! rev counter and speddo went crazy comeing onto the long run out then hafl way around it just died!! putting me in the wall car started back up ok but electrics were going mad and i had broken my intercooler and got into the pits me and the lads got to it changed the cooler and i rewired the car to run just the ecu and fuel pump it fire up but was sill all over the place like a scooby on anti lag!! id say every one heard it, so me and the new boss tryed to get her right changed every thing on it and still the same its a very sickining feeling watching ur qualifying position being taken by the next in line!! and i even with lots of cars on offer pd said that i could not use another car even thow some of the cars had done there 2 qualifing laps and had not gotton into the top 32?? so the cars would not have been backl out for the rest of the day a lil bit silly but they are the ruels they told me, so packed up and went home didnt bother going out on sunday cos of the rain,
