Prodrift Rnd 2 Fermoy 2011 Afterthoughts

[Baz_180]

I was only down on Sunday and was very surprised how quite it was there, I've defo be going for the two days any more. Mike Fitz is some man for the commentary himself and Dave are a great team! Mike will be a loss when the car is ready (maybe wire a mic up to the fc??). Standard of drifting is crazy as always I'm beginning to think James Deane is a drifting machine. Great to see team drift again! Roll on Punchestown

Crowd vote is a joke.

If its to get the crowd going, then its failing miserably. There's nothing worse to kill the atmosphere than asking who wants to go through with total silence as a response!
And even when a response is got, its only really down to which driver has the biggest group of friends in the crowd and who has the most cans of drink helping them shout better

Many in a crowd that may have not been to many events probably won't know every aspect of a good run and how it should be scored too in fairness so its kinda unfair to both the drivers and the 3 judges if a good solid run is shot down by a crowd vote because the other car makes more noise, smoke and just gets closer to a wall clip even if the other clips are totally missed.

An opinion from the crowd and other ways of trying to build the atmosphere is all it needs.

Good weekend, glad it stayed dry for us even some sunburn thrown into the package, great job!!..

Car went well, its starting to work well for me, better tyre choice maybe for punchestown if we make it there...

Real good battles in Semi Pro.. lots of lads out there going really well, wont start to list as their is so many, chuck g was a hero all weekend, driving the absolute bag out of his car and making top 16 sunday what a result!! Chris Burrnet felt bad for your car letting you down, if you had of had your own car for qualifyin sunday morning you would have eased the top 16 no probs after saturdays performance!

Michael Swan was in serious form, drove really well, as did dan and barry and larry love, i think everyone was driving very very well for such a tricky track, it was great fun loved it and delighted to make my first PD Final, the Deane lads are always on top form and i just couldnt catch Mike, maybe next time

Just went down the Sunday and fuck Sligo to cork is far,second off all I agree with Mick k Bon Bon made a cock off himself judgein, dmac for punch if he can, level off drifting was unreal ,wind burnt not cool,meeting Barry Leonard for the first time a dream come true,other than that great laugh

Great weekend , was down the Sat and Sunday. Gutted for Jamie Rus who didnt even make it onto the track Chuckster was unreal.com....fair play to him!! I think James should have won his lap against Mike. Also gutted for Wes but thats drifting and thats what makes it so exciting.. Super lap was great to watch also...From a Spectators point of view the judgeing is a bit all over the place..very little makes for a good effort it seems...its either shit or brilliant!! I thought we were all great

Crowd atmostphere was gay , cant see why tho as said. €25 for a weekend pass is not alot for anyone that into drifting...Some of the battles over the weekend were pure edge of your seat stuff imo.

Team Drift is by far the most exciting!! was excellent to watch , my top went down well!!

got a few good videos and pictures....will get them up durning the week

Roll on Round 3
