Is Drifting Dead in Ireland

[D.Daly]

Lim just back from lanzarote today after a week there, haven't been on the site at all..seems like I missed the busiest week of the last 5 months! I'll still be loyal to the site though as it's dead handy and I've met a lot of cool guys from it.

As for drifting in Ireland..it's a tough one to call..I mean idc has more entries then ever, as for track days there is an opening for more days but not in mondello, that has enough of good events been run. Wgh, tynagh and I personally would love to drive a track day in white river as it's a badass track!

And this is why idiots like you give the site and the scene a bad name. Post something constructive. Or if I want your opinion I will tell you.

Diarmuid, sorry if I sound like I am always criticising in this thread, but have you ever actually met Dave (D.Daly)?

Are you fucking joking me? Yes I apoligies for my drunken nonsensical posts but you sir are a fucking tit.
Tell me why I'm giving it a bad name? I'm intrigued..
Matt, thank you. A gentleman as always.

To be honest Diarmuid, I'd argue that it's YOUR exact attitude (displayed) that's one of the main contributors to what some people see as holding back the sport.

You've been hanging around in the long grass a long time and feel that entitles you to push people around as if you have some sort of status or claim to a forum you don't contribute to. D.Daly's being a dope, but this whole forum should be about a little fun here and there. You're being aggressive and dismissive of him here. People who hang back usually are afraid to express what they want to express in public because they're afraid of being disagreed with or criticised. The type of people who go to drift events as spectators, and then complain about the good drivers always winning, the judges' bias and refuse to clap and make people feel awkward when they do clap. The type of 'super fans' who make people think twice about embracing the potential atmosphere of the drift scene. I'm not saying that you are one of those people, you're just exhibiting the characteristics of one.

You're referring to the glory days as if it's something that will never again be seen. There's still plenty of drifting to be done without having to compete in IDC or N1. Granted, Tynagh and WGH drying up a bit doesn't help my argument, but there's an opening for someone surely? Or is there?

If you ran practice sessions in WGH before why don't you do it now? I'm not saying you should, but why did you stop? I would think there's a lot more red tape involved these days. Having been involved in Driftfest, Superdrift and JustJap, I know that there's more to doing a practice day than calling them up and showing up with a bunch of buddies. Unless we were doing something seriously wrong. In the case of DF that may have been true

Anyways, i don't want to harp on about it. You might have been in a shitty mood when you wrote that. I think it's great that you started this thread, i honestly do. I don't understand how you feel that the likes of nikki hayes and justjap and superdrift and all the other "so called drift clubs or events if you want to call them that" are "Splitting up and not doing a good job promoting the sport". I know superdrift and driftfest had their differences. a lot of people knows that at this stage. But who else, and why is that a bad thing for the average punter with a rusty s-body or a 323 looking to do a practice day?

All I'm saying is that if it was that easy to make a few quid doing practice days, everyone would be doing it. Mondello is easier, granted, but it's not that simple anymore for other tracks. There are more drift cars in the country than ever before and people are importing road cars again. That can only be a good thing, that people have a few quid to spare again.
