Prodrift Rd 2 Afterthoughts

[Mick K]

A little note at the bottom of the page

:This is only an example of times we hope to run off,Due to Drivers Mishaps and other difficultys it may not always run on time!

[Muttly]

Yes... But like i said, If youv no cars to run what can you do? Sure you can leave them with half an hour, get 1 run each then Saturday night come on here and read page after page of abuse... We both no it wouldnt have been Prodrifts fault but still... U see where im comin from.

I've been there an done that Dan as you well know but until the drivers are forced to be there at a time and will miss practice etc if they're not on time then they won't ever change. Its not PD's fault people can't be there at a time when they're told well in advance. BUT on the other hand PD is known for moving times around so again until they're forcing times it won't change.

You'll never see a F1 race start 20 minutes late because a few lads couldn't stop drinking the night before.

Exactly.
Set a time and stick to it regardless of what time Wez runs out of Vodka

On a serious note,Your being very negative towards what is a very good idea Dan.

That's more along the lines of what I mean't Dan, I'd say going harsh on drivers is the only way of keeping to schedule! Cruel to be kind and all that, and it will be drivers' fault not Prodrifts.

Would it be a good idea to get a Programme going in the gate on a Sunday of times of events etc and what way its being ran off for your €20?

Very good idea. Would be handy to have a list of drivers and their car spec etc; maybe a bit of basic info on where drivers are from. I reckon spectators might give more support to a driver if they knew he was local to them or whatever.

If it can be done at low level GAA matches it can be done at prodrift events.

To go into that detail if they must but a simple list of the top 32 drivers,The car they drive and Number on the car would do me,Most important would be the time table,As you say,€5 on the gate of a club GAA match and you get a programme,€20 on the gate at PD and ye get fook all!

Time table and stick to the fooking thing

@ dan, we asked graham what time was it startin on the sat, his answer was drivers briefing at 9.30, we were in the pits standing around waitin for a briefing when we heard cars out on track, a simple print out or one big board with the details on it in the pits would do ..even wrote in marker

U have me all wrong Mick..

Not being negative at all..

Just saying why it could be difficult..

Personally think its a good idea.

Grand Grand,Slowly redeeming yourself,
Just on a saturday eve,Have a template loaded on a laptop connected to a printer

Bang in 32 Names,Enter sundays timetable,Hit print,Horse the first copy out of the printer into the photo copier!BOOM,3000 copys of the A4 sheet be grraaaaaand!
Not looking for a copy of Oxfords Chinese dictionary,Just a simple Timetable and list of alcoholics driving on the sunday!
You know Dan if you drank less at events and worked more this idea could be pulled off???<<<Notice for effect


Not huge expense involved in the above!
The amount of familys that dont know the format of how Drifting is ran off is unreal,Like how many Dads local to Naas brought their nippers to Punch and left still not with a clue of what was going on?
