IDC Round 1 afterthoughts...

[Chuck_g]

What about the marshal that kicked the bumper off the the red 180? A little bit more care for lads cars wouldn't go a miss, mondello made a fortune yesterday so a little care in return wouldn't do any harm. Not hard to carry a pair of snips in your pocket to cut a cable tie off

He's and IDC marshall and while it looked like he doesn't care, im sure Kenneth Murphy didnt give a shit....these are not show cars, you get what you need to get done to get back out there. If it was my car id have told him to burn the bumper off......bumpers are the last thing a drifter should be worried about!

Well that i didn't see, and really is not on. In that case all Marshall's should have snips.

ye was fair funny alright...

Well.....

Saturday.

The standard of driving was amazing. The Mondello no music rule sucks as the atmosphere was a bit dead.

Stephen Harte, Jack Shanahan, DOC and Kenneth Murphy were amazing to watch. And of course Daryll props to him.

Sunday.

Dieing. Missed most of qualifying so only got tuned in for Superlap. Some things stuck out for me with regards judging. When James ran Dan Moorhead said something along the lines of i dont want to see James there again so its an 8?? I was literally gobsmacked. The other 2 judges gave a 9. Judges than said they dont take conditions into consideration. Adrian Walsh came out in the wet and put in a decent run and than Dan scored him a 9?? Baffling.
As awesome as Ffrench,s lap attempt was he made a HUGE mistake entering but Peden gave him a 5? I thought a 6 woulda been loads for that run with the 3 judges combined. Never mind a 13.
Everyone looked really good so i cant really single any of the pros out.

The Incident.

On first viewing i thought Ffrench shoulda won it. I was shocked he didnt get it. Having seen the video im not as certain but id still call it to Ffrench. I was directly across from clip 1 and alot of drivers including James were double entering. Handbrake power.. HANDBRAKE.... Slide... Power. That to me wasnt being punished. We witnessed Ffrench head into the pits before the battle and pump his tyres. Hes smart. He knew he was alot quicker than James and he also initiated a good 3-4 lenghts behind James. James tried to come in hard but was going of course so had to let off. Slowing hugely. Ffrench had serious grip so didnt have to leave off. Probaly not expecting James to be that slow. I think he was too slow because he pushed too hard and Ffrench had nowhere to go. SO id give it to Ffrench. But after reviewing the video its not as clearcut as i first thought.

People need to use a little bit of the brain when trying to call a battle. The first run because of contact would mean it was a 10-0 to whoever was not at fault. Ffrench too aggressive hits James causing him to spin 10-0 James. James too slow causing French to hit him and stop 10-0 Ffrench. The ONLY way it could have been a OMT is IF the 2nd run went 10-0 the other way. Ffrench pulled a gap AND James dropped a wheel making it a 7-3 or at worst an 8-2. Not enough to warrant a turn around or a OMT. Educate yerselves before ye start mouthing.

What is absolutely sick is people 'i want to use a strong word but il bite my tongue' taking to social media to claim biase, politics etc bla bla blaaaaa. Its always the same people and its beyond sad. Build a bridge and get over it. Its a judges sport. The reason James wins ALOT is because he is the best. Not because of bias.

James had allllll the luck this weekend IMO which is unfortunate because hes a machine without any luck so it must suck to face him when hes luck is in. JPM was quicker than him but made a mistake. I thought Ffrench beat him. Brendans car broke down so he got a buy. And Gavin had a big advantage before his lead run. Not taking anything from James but he got the rub of the green.

After the weekend if i could throw on a few euro id be lumping on Ffrench for the Championship hes so quick and ridiculously talented. Will be routeing for him in Punch after yesterdays events.

Congrats to all winners over the weekend and all who took part its sooooo good to have it back in my life. Roll on Punch for more of the same. Hopefully more controversy cause lets face it it deffo adds to the excitement.

Those achillies obviously are ridiculous and could maybe call for a review of the tyre rule??

I cant think of anything else right now but il check back in if i do.

I really don't think it is acceptable to be late when you organised it !!!!! And it's only fair you put up pictures of the blonde girl you introduced me to and brought home and was the reason for being late #morninsex

hahaha dont make me put up a picture of the text you sent me regarding her

[dR Dan]

I actually ment to say... When i mentioned what Dan had said about James I quickly figured he probably/definately didnt mean for it to come out or across like that. A slip of the tongue just hope it wasnt picked up by people who wouldnt no as much about it. Iv no doubts Dan didnt mean that the way it came out.
