Portlaosie drifting 3-10 afterthoughts

[mick-skyline]

Groups it needs to be then!
32 cars,2 groups,16 in each,2 laps.Any more laps and with guys spinning you may as well leave it the way it is at 30 cars!

I still think you'd need at least 3 laps at a time Mick. But your idea sounds good... Cut back a little on the numbers your talking to put in a few more laps, like one more lap each isn't going to put too long onto the queing in fairness.

micks idea???
it was one of our ideas
yea well this is good to know what ye all think...
some people want to watch it fair enough.. but only when its not raining this is gonna work..
your not gonna stand out in the rain for an hour....
think we going to run the 20 cars for the next time..
then the 30 cars time after..
also track is going to be changed around..
there's a lot of work goes into this and trying to keep everyone happy
also think that it is going on to regular..
but that's owners decision

i agree with mick k on this if ye think about it lads just for a min, 2 groups 16 in each 2 laps thats grand short q,s but with 4 laps it the same wait as haven the 32 cars out when ur at the back cause its the same amount of laps that the 32 cars do at 2 each 2x32= 64 laps 4x16= 64 so when ur at the back its the same thing same wait just what me thinks

exactly..........
the groups will work no hassle with the 32 cars....
but the hour will have to be an hour.. always going to get one lad coming up.. ah please just let me out... etc.....
we can try it no hassle at all... prob better to be put into diff groups like...
say 1 and 2..
1 for lads who have competed in pd etc.
and 2 then for lads who just starting off..
what ye think????

I reckon the groups would be animal as I wouldn't mind waiting half an hour or so if I got quick consecutive runs with a smaller group. As said its more fun if your watching the other lads instead of moving the car forward a few feet every min without seeing how everybody's getting on. Plus you can ride along with other lads and pick up tips. I found that I couldn't hop into other cars because I wanted to que knowing I'd miss track time. Other than that I think its unreal and whatever we say is only mild criticism of a savage idea from Bart and the lads that really works!

I agree100% 2 groups would be class so drivers can see what everyone else is doing. And as said it's almost perfect apart from the que s . Fair play bart for giving us the option of changes

but like some of the lads said they would like to go out behind some of the better lads to try fallow there lines just mix them up a bit
if lads want to swop grand as long as the right amount of cars are out each time and no shit about it if there is given out they get there group and stick to it

[ger15]

How about keeping it at 20, and do two groups of 10 ?

your not gonna stand out in the rain for an hour.Its Ireland,Nobodys going to predict weather and plus lads will be jumping in with drivers in the other group to learn lines of diff drivers etc

Are you not the link between drifters and Yard owner Bart?Can you not relay this and tell him its not going to work?
Seems a sensible man that can take an idea on board.

exactly..........

but the hour will have to be an hour.. always going to get one lad coming up.. ah please just let me out.Speculate to accumlate.Spend a few quid on the event Green window stickers for cars in group one,Blue for group 2
It falls into the same window as where you said after the first day different people wont be arriving and driving peoples cars but it happens,ALOT
we can try it no hassle at all... prob better to be put into diff groups like...
say 1 and 2..
1 for lads who have competed in pd etc.
and 2 then for lads who just starting off.As I said to prodrifter86 1 for pros and beginners wont work,How do you define that anyway.And as I said to prodrifter86 guys will want to be swapping to run with mates and shite etc.
what ye think????

Why not bring the day to a complete stop !

Try the 2 groups idea first, less queing time means more track time so keeping it to 2 laps should be ok..
Everyone will know straight away if its working, if it doesnt work it can be changed for next time..?

It also allows people to watch and jump in as passenger not having to worry about moving there car in the que as there in the next group..

Different bands bart, or numbers 1 to 16 is group one, then numbers 17-32 in the 2nd group?? Or just a washable marker on the windscreen with the group number/letter..?
