It was more like this on your PC that caused the poles to come loose and your tent fall down

 You will just have to attend a few meets/events in '06 and she might appear, last seen in Fey!'s Tent in Antrim last year

Nothing like a monopoly to get the greed going, complete shame.

Typical of Ireland, instead of attracting new customers, just screw the ones you have.

Langers, feck'em, it'll be harder to get up to Kirky from way south, but at least you won't have the feeling of being completely screwed - and you can fill up on proper super-unleaded, get a few extra bhp for the track.

I was really looking forward to my first track day with the club this year. I've spent much on the car to get it to a higher level to be ready for some track action.

Mondello = stones

I'd be up for the Kirks trip alright - my need for trackday fixes would overcome the dose it is to have to drive to the other end of the country to do so. But may I suggest a Saturday event if possible? Cork-Dublin Fri nite, trackday sat, then home Sunday.

Other options include Anglesea in north Wales (across on Dublin ferry & a few miles away on the other side). Pembury is another track I'll be investigating (4 miles from my gaff to Cork-Swansea ferry & then 20miles from Swansea port to Pembury). Twill be €120 for petrol alone getting up to Kirkstown, so that'd go toward the ferry costs for me.

I wonder if the Porsche Boys are up in arms about this increase too. I hope Mondello lose a lot of business over this....that big of an increase to long standing customers isn't on.
I bet they want to free up the days to accomodate the more profitable open days.

Mondello (or rather its UK based directors) increased the prices to hire out the circuit mainly (I believe) to compensate for the loss of income brought about because they would have to cancel their driving school and other stuff.
The Porsche club chap I was talking to didnt seem overly concerned about the price increase to be honest. They might go with one weekend and two weekday sessions and he also said that they prefer using the national circuit.
Anyhow, Im not going to get into a debate about Mondello - there is no point!

TJ - heading overseas is an option and Im sure some of the UK guys (& gals!) would be on for it. However, I reckon that if we were to head over we would be down on numbers compared to mondello (then again this may also apply with Kirky).

I know Killian. I hope that the potential loss of Mondello won't impact on club membership too much, but the reality is many people joined for the trackdays. I think we should keep 1 mondello day if possible, and then 1 or 2 more elsewhere. just for circuit variety if nowt else. And cos it's depressing to think an irish car club has to be crossing borders to do a cost effective trackday. 

The sooner some mega-cash-rich entrepreneur with a penchant for track action, a side business in tarmac laying and civil construction, and who decides to buy a 3,000 acre country pile in Cork, the better!!

Don't forget next year when they do the track day at Silverstone we should get a bunch of cars over. I would love to drive Silverstone, that track is much more stuted to a big car.

I think travelling overseas would be a great idea.

Kirkistown would be fine too. Would have to be a Saturday though, drive from Cork on the saturday morning, stay in a B&B, drive home with a sh!t head on sunday Looking at it though, Mondello will prob end up costing less due to petrol, accomodation etc.

I suggest have a few track days, but all in different venues. Then we see which is the best for future track days......?????
