He races a Dunlop Supercar around the circuit during the Summer (pic of him below has him driving last May during unbelievable weather without windscreen). |

Rosegreen is just on the Cork side of Cashel. About 60 cars competed - majority were 3s or 'Tincan' Twincams, a few 200SXs are popping up, a couple of RX7s, there was a 750iL the last time(!) but the circuit is too tight for it. A couple of E36 M3s, an E34 M5, last Xmas there were new M3s from England doing demos. The 3000GT that was at Murphy & Gunn service managers Mondello day was there too - alas he blew the thing up! I think it was front diff or gearbox, as oil and debris fell out of that area (it happened right in front of me). Two of the best drivers are brothers in a Sierra and Granada respectfully - the things they do in modest machinery has to be seen. |

Where's Rosegreen?
I think Mondello should be put under a bit of pressure to discount a Friday session - especially if we want to also run an event in August. As a an opening offer, I'd suggest €2000 incl. VAT. I wouldn't accept €3000 + VAT for a Friday. If it was negotiated into somewhere in between then it may be a runner. From September's event, it seems that €125 is the maximum we should be prepared to pay, given the cheapness of Kirkistown, etc. |

Kirkstown is a bit of a haul from Cork, but I'm game for Mondello alright, regardless of date, track configuration, or price, as long as it doesn't stray past E175ish... I was at the Drifting competition in Rosegreen on Sunday (as a spectator)... there was a red Northern reg E34 M5 that was stunning, and the guy took 3 right handers of varying radius in one continuous very sideways slide - it's fantastic to see. 3 series are the car of choice for it - alot of 318is, although there was a H reg 3 that I presume was once a 318is that was debadged, emptied out, braid fuel lines and fancy handbrake , but a look under the bonnet revealed a 4 cylinder M3 lump. Nice. It was on lock stops down the straight too. |

I'm game for either Mondello or Kirkistown........ need as much practice as I can after the last time out at Mondello I know of another E34 that'd be up for it too

The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.

the full track will cost twice whatever the national section (the section we had before) costs. Anyway if 20 people could come on a friday then they could expect to pay approx 150yoyos. Would you be happy with that ? |

Need to keep in mind two things: 1) We may get a cheaper rate for the weekday booking 2) People might be willing to pay a bit more for the use of the full track |

I guess we need to see whats the max amount of money people are willing to pay for a track day, and this would determine the min numbers.
Perhaps a survey could be set up on the forum? |

I think price needs to be confirmed first. I don't think we would get near 30 for a Friday - maybe 20 though.

If you want, I'll drive it up for you instead of using the trailer

I would be OK for Mondello any weekday. Kirkistown too far for me especially as I would be hauling our track car on a trailer.

Thanks Eamo, World cup was great - obvoiusly dissapointed by the final result, but cannot compain about the quality of the final matches. The only problem now is that the trip cost me so much money, all my plans for the Bavarian Beauty have been put on hold! Cheers, |

Hiya Crispin, saw you on the N4 the other day.
A Friday afternoon would be a possibility for me - but I would be very concerned that we could not make 30 people up - so Mondello would have to half their price! I'd consider Kirkistown now that the M1 is built - I wonder of Mark up north is around the forum and who could look into this? |
