Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaw

What a great weekend, got his first twin battles too on sat and rocked it... Best is yet to come from both car and driver..

[Jay Rockett]

What an absolute cracker of a weekend!

Firstly, well done Prodrift, the whole weekend you's were running around non stop
and the event ran perfectly! Time-tables were spot-on and you kept
on top of all the drivers to be on the line on time, and there was no confusion!

Secondly, i'd like to say fair play to ALL drivers for proving how the standard here
is increasingly getting higher and higher by not holding back on entries on what was probably the most demanding track we've had in Ireland..?
And to all drivers, one thing i noticed was the sportsmanship between eachother! Iv never came across such a sound bunch of lads in ANY sport ever! Fair play, its a great little community we have going on here!


Personally i had such a great weekend! Friday wasnt great, i was late (as usual) then on my first run i hit the barrier and that but a dent in my confidence for the rest of the afternoon!
Saturday i just cleared my head and drove as hard as i could and was delighted with the win in Amateurs and 4th in Semi-pro's!

I had great battles with Conor Farrelly and a few of the other lads,
and was delighted to progress to Sunday to compete with the Pro's!

Sunday wasnt as good for me as Sat, i just couldnt seem to drive the same but was loving the atmosphere and craic never the less!

Awsome driving from Chris Brady, glad to see ya do so well, dead sound too!
Congrats to Barry Leonard winning the Non-Seeded class and James again on the win in Pro's!

Donal Garry was unreal too, crazy man!
Dennis Healy, another lunatic and great driving!
All the UK drivers, hugely entertaining and impressive, great to see you competing here!

Thanks again to PD for running a great event and all the di guys for the support on saturday, nearly hit the barrier (again!) with your cheering and jumping, haha!

Hes shit hott, has anyone ever listened to his mixes?? He may play the old stuff but the new stuff is shit...............and the Cd's he sells are his mixes, nout wrong with selling that! Was chatting to him in Punchestown, sound as a bell n on the button.............

Matter of opinion, but wouldnt personally agree. He had like pop style cds, hip hop ones, and obviously dance. And so taking Tiesto, Alexandra Burke or whatever and mixing it a bit and selling it on for E15 a cd? Wouldnt agree that theres "nout wrong" with it. Pretty sure its illegal, and if not then highly unethical. Regardless of that his feckin music blaring all day wrecked my head! But anyway I suppose its not really the topic of this thread.

No bothers, should have said the above was in my opinion............

Fairplay on the results Jay, i can see a whole new bag of Pro drivers next year.........

[Polo]

Just like to say a masive thanks to every one for having me over and making me feel welocme!

Have to say this event was a HUGE improvement on what i see at Punchestown!!!! Well done on that one!! The comentry, PA system and timetable wer the biggies!

Out of all of the drift events iv ever been to the judging system used in Prodrift is the best and the fairest, id agree with every call! Not sure on the asking the crowd thing thogh, seemed a bit pants.
The judges explaning the lap is defo WIN!!!

If any one has a vid of my super lap please let me see it, the entry was awesome!! I thoght i was going into the wall backwords!!!

This Other Drivers to Impress were
Paul "Polo" Cheshire,Thought he gave Nigel some run for his money,Some driver with Ballsy entrys,Thought that was the only harsh judging of the weekend for me although I didnt have a great viewing position from the pits so Im open to correction.

I was very happy with the score, on the run up when i was leading i miss shifted a gear, which cocked up my entry causing me to wash right out wide on the hair pin, letting Nigel got right on my door.
Thanks to Nigel, good sport man.

Forgive me but Danny Eyles is a fucking asshole poncy prick,If your going to Drive your car to Mass on the practice run at least let the other driver go first,Of all people to hold up,Dean Kearney would have driven through your door had he of been in his own car and rightly so.

Sorry mate i did not meet you at the weekend, i think this comment is way out of place!!! Every one gives it there all in practice, James even ran into the back of Danny in practice!! If no one was going balls out in practice there wouldnt have been any crashs
Also, if hes such a poncy prick, how comes he had the balls to qually 1st and put in some of the best runs of the hole event!!!
I didnt see you do a lap?????????

EDIT: Just re read your post, notice that its practice run. Practice run is to do with what you wish, i drive mine slowly, its tack tics, playing the game, it happens all over. Sycs the other driver out, makes it fun for the crowd.

I personally disagree'd with some of the judging. I thought Polo deserved a OMT at least with Colfer, Nigel is brilliant and so consistant, but I thought Polo was just pushing so hard and IMO deserved more. I felt sick for Danny Eyles, he is awesome. Him and James in the final it should have been, and that would have been some battle! .

I think the whole crowd would have loven to see that OMT, everyone was loving that battle, and the crowd didnt seem too impressed when the call was made, although thee was a small error, OMT defo would have been entertaining!

Anyone know how Bagsy is?

The drama Queen is brand new again! Was a bit sore still on sun and a bit shook, but was to be expected. THankfully no permanent damage for the pretty boy!

well done to danni ya really do us girls proud is there another girl in semi pro ???? if so thats very awesome!!!

Thanks Amy is Amateur as far as I know...?

and Danni for two of the fastest entries on Saturday, thats all that springs to mind right now but i'm sure i'll think of more.

Yea, have to say I was fairly surprised, impressed & delighted with that!! Then to have it not beaten by the Pro's on sunday! Dean Kearney matched me though, which at the end of yest put a bigger smile on my face

Other Drivers to Impress were
Danni Murphy,Never ever seen her drive as well,New woman!

Shane Lynch didnt live up to expectations,Maybe its he's still getting to grips with the V8,But,WHAT A CAR AND NOISE!

Why thank u Mick, 2 compliments from u in a short space of time!!
Shane unfortunately snapped a hub on his 2nd qualifying, was looking forward to him bettering his 1st run, in fairness he can drive that yoke and if the track was faster u woulda heard that monster loose SAVAGE!!!!!

Overall, WHAT A WEEKEND! Absolutely brilliant. Was scetchy on the friday and wasnt havin the 1st corner at all, only in my last 2 runs on fri i entered in 3rd shittin it!
Must have woke up on a mission sat cause it was 3rd all the way, and was loving it.
Couldn't believe i was among the highest entry speeds over the weekend
Only my 2nd proper day out in the car since getting it all sorted and going proper, so heres a fingers crossed for the rest of the season, after gaining so much confidence and having a lot of fun in the process.

Donal Garry again, I have to say, was raging u spun, savage battle with James

[Derk]

As everyone else has mentioned PD did a great job organising the event
It ran nothing short of perfect, well done.

I want to thank anyone that helped me fix the car friday, mainly Derk, bart andy and Tommy (without ye that would have been the end of my weekend)
First practice lap got it all wrong and bent a heap of stuff
Bent the subframe, broke drive, bent the hub, broke shock etc...
After the bang i lost all confidence and drove like crap all weekend

No probs lad, Thats what i like most bout this driftin craic, when things go wrong the majority of lads will bend over backwards to help eachother out..

Oh and you didnt drive as bad as you make out Frank

[yowdy]

just a few things i noticed over the weeknd whitch i tnk makes prodift what it is,,
1, no matter who you were parked beside they were up 4a chat and a laugh
2.as soon as a driver had a problem there was any amount of help to get him back going,
3. american style qualifying was class knowing where you stood for your second lap,,
4. the level of tallent,
5.standord of cars,
and finaly the english lads in my eyes brought somthing different to the mix,, polo's car and looks sounds savage,, dannys 15 is gorgose ans shanes s15 sounds like nothing ive ever heard b4,, i tnk this is the best pd event ive bn at,,

Couldn't agree more, everyone was chatty, friendly and had the craic while watching the track from the pits, great weekend & athmosphere, looks like PD have to stay on par of Citywest now for future events

Only on here, could a DJ playin cheesy shit get brought up in a chat about the weekends DRIFTING.....!!! Does it really matter?! lol
