BDC have half the competitors of PD and ten times the choice of tracks ...

track time is practice day time,an event isnt a practice day.Esp not with the usual entries and the time limit.

but how can you say that when your not allowed to practice on the tracks PD have??
also there is alot of people that pay 75 euro for 3 practice runs and then qualify run.. like in fairness. how are people ment to get better?? and not be pissed off at the same time??

Will definately not be good for the sport in Ireland if they were indeed to stop running events.

They are a very big concern in the drifting, and have done alot for the sport as you's have said, so its only right to attend as many events as possible to support the cause, because where would we be without it..? I really dont think Bishopscourt could take many more numbers up here than it already does.. lol

But, on the flip side, and as a reply to the over-price hoodies, some of their prices do indeed need looked at. For instance, the ProDrift coats they had for sale at Punchestown were €130, and that wasnt a mistake. The girl even tried telling me they were reduced for the event, with a normal price tag of €150.. "You having a laugh..?" was my reply.. Just glad there was no need for a coat that day.. lol

But, we are yet to see any confirmed reports or hear from any of the organisers themselves that the club is shutting up shop, so lets all assume its a load of balls and carry on the love, do what we can for the drift scene and continue supporting the fastest growing motorsport in the world, cos thats what has us all here in the first place, is it not..?

... theres no where really to pratice in ireland much bar watergrasshill some mondays and mondello every month or two

Emmm, yes there is

in fairness to prodrift and im not sticking up for them,But
on saturday theres alot on.they have the novices first thing in the morning and look how many there are.They have to do practise,Qualifying and Twin battle(even though i heard its only a top 4 now.
Then theres the non seed pro and theres fook loads of them in it.They have to one again practice,Qualify and do a top 16 in which They have to allow for re-runs. Then theres pro on sunday which in itself takes to long,between practise,Qualifying,Super lap,top 16.and if theres a european event on that fucks that 2.
Now in fairness i do agree you dont get alot of runs in novice and not much more in non seed,but its and event which is a COMPETITION not a practice day.ITs for trying to win rather than practice.But every bit of track time counts because if you say im not going because you get fuck all track time ,its still better than none.
As for practice theres watergrasshill,Mondello(which i hear is savage)Goldstone which maybe a little rough but its not that bad,And you can go up north Which i hear you get savage track time.(ill be up soon wayne).
So if you want to practise there not like theres nowhere to go(just not to many). Rant over

well maybe prodrift should vet and make people work for licences instead of just paying for them ive been to a good few prodrift and bdc events in the last year and imo bdc is a lot better run courses mightn be as fast or techical but better value for money imo

Lol, yup thought you'd forgotten about us!

@ Podge, yes I'd certainly run the Amateur events just about anywhere and there are indeed plans for Championship events to be held around the country too. I'll keep ye posted on that. Meanwhile, I'll bugger off. Don't wanna hi-jack this thread...
