mondello 6th aftermath

[geordier1]

Thanks dude, had a great day despite the weather and a few jerks thinking they owned the track.... The wet really suits the RX and we got loads of track time till I ran out of fuel.... Some serious drifting out their, takes alot guts on a wet/oily track

ye we got plenty of track time alright, you seemed to be going really well in the wet,i was behind you for a couple of laps.

Fair play to yis, all put on a good spectacle!! Purple PS is lovely if its anyone on here!

Seen the Bonnet fly up jimmy and ye werent the only one at the same place thats bonnet flew up, whoever it was in the s14 with all the grapics no spoiler did it too!!

I have an awful issue with mondello charging at the gate for a drift practice though. I drove straight through at first but the bastard followed me and wouldnt take laser off me for payment cause they dont have a machine. He said cash only and i told him this is my cash. he said go to prosperous and get money, i meant to tell ask him would he give me the fiver off for wasting petrol to get over there!!

I think a petition should be made out on all forums for guys wanting to go spectate to take the charge off the gate. In all fairness, no offense to anyone, its a practice day, some are going out for the first time and getting used to their cars, and some are flat to the mat. Chargin a tenner in to watch lads getting used to their cars is a rip off. Now i love watching people goin round and like to take pics also (dint have camera today though) but I dont see the idea of 10 euro being worth it. i mean theres no facilities there to avail of, hungry? tough shite, thirsty, no bottles in machine, or cantine open. What do any spectators think?????

The purple ps is Yowdy's on here...

Kind've agree with ya on the admission thing but then again Mondello are bound to charge ya, they're a business at the end of the day.
Dont know why the canteen wasn't open on Sunday, usually is.
Eventhough you get rode for the "food" they sell its nice to have the option there, maybe coz there wasn't enough cars booked in?

i had a great day, took a bit of gettin used to the new car! the wet made it very interesting but i struggled a lot in the dry! handbrake refused to lock up and very little grip on the front along with a lack of skill on my part

delighted to be back in an ae86, drove the car to and from mondello, then when got home filled it with booze and drove it to ballyshannon in donegal for the last day of the rory gallagher festival
gotta love the 86's

@nick nack,your dead right id nearly get bored lookin at a good lad drift never mind the likes of myself!it is only a practice day its not for entertaining spectators so why should they have to pay in
arent normal track days free for spectators?last one i was at there was no one at the gate anyway
