 Topic: 2004 Irish Club Calendar
Posted: 14-April-2004 at 07:24 |
I snuck in on the tail end of a run organised by the Blessington Classic Car & Motorcylce Club - with whom I have no affiliations - on Monday and had a great time.
They had organised a small run from Poulaphouca House just outside of Blessington - Ballymore Eustace - Dun Lavin - Blessington with a treasure hunt thrown in for laughs. There were a couple of tidy looking '02's in the very mixed attendance which was my excuse for following the procession - honest.
Whole families were getting into the competetive spirit of the treasure hunt which was great to see - as was the sight of a varied bunch of antique, vintage & classic cars flying this way & that in the search for answers to the clues.
I'd be willing to help sort out something like this for the Irish Section, would really no where to start though.
Any takers????

Its Called the Mullingar Park Hotel.
When you come into Kinnegad town head for Mullingar (go through Kinnegad town - dont take bypass which is for Galway)
After 10/15 miles youll come onto a dual carriageway. Take the first off ramp which is signposted for Mullingar town and at the top of the ramp you'll see it straight in front of you.

21st is OK for me too. I'd prefer Mullingar as it is a real haul to get to/from Athlone at the weekend. Last time, I was nearly 6 hours driving.
Re. Mondello, I think €150 is the absolute max I'd be prepared to pay.

21st Feb should be OK. I'd prefer somewhere in the middle of the country such as Athlone or Mullingar, but could probably could get to Dublin.

There is a meeting scheduled for February and I want to know which date to use: the 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th.
I would prefer the 21st - what do others think?
Also where? Athlone? Would Dublin be more convienent?

OK folks - change of plan.
Just finished talking to John Morris in Mondello Park and apparently Saturday April 24th next is available (subject to the motorsport calendar being finalised [around mid-Jan] but he is 75% sure of it).
Price is as before (subject to general numbers).
I will contact them again in a month to double check but they will contact me if there are any problems.
It is also for the national circuit (as before)

yup - Robbies - couldn't remember his name. He had a bit of craic in that 530i alright.
I can't wait to get out on a track again! I changed my wheels to a set of 17" Alpina replicas - the previous 17s had the incorrect offset and while they looked great and filled the arches to a tee, the drive wasn't there, not to mention making my steering creak something savage.
The new set has made a significant difference to turn in and balance near the limit, so it'll be good to see how it drives past the limit of grip. And they look the biz.
