[Conor sr_20]

You were killing it man with a basic setup compared to the guys you were up against. Hope you heard us going mental for you up near our stand when you were out!

Yeah seen you's jumping all over the place a couple a times!!
UnReal Weekend!!

Great event, even if the track was impossible..... Gutted I missed out on top 32 by 3 places, but still delighted I was able to drift the little RX around such a difficult track without any damage
Only complaint was the pits being so far from the exhibition centre, was sick of walking up and down especially after Nixon broke my bike

You couldnt give that fella nothing!

[MikeFitz]

Fikey Mitz... Any truth to the rumours of the blossoming love between yourself and the Love machine???? haha.

Great weekend I have to say! Got burnt alive though lol! Some epic drifting, especially from the 86 boys Healy, Garry and Sinnott. Some really big crashes, especially Baggsys one, but glad to hear he was ok, and I know it sounds bad but being honest a few crashes here and there (provided everyones ok) makes the whole event alot more exciting!

Congrats to Dave on the commentry. Was very daunting for him to step up on saturday having never commentated on anything before, and not really knowing anybody else up in the PD booth, aswell as having nobody else to bounce off (like having Gibbons on sunday for example). But he gradually got more into it and by the end of sat and then sunday I think he was flying. Ppl on here are always slating Gibbons, but I personally think that the way it worked sunday was great. Gibbons is good at the interviews and getting the crowd going, basically the non technical stuff and then Dave can do the play by play stuff. I thought it all flowed pretty naturally, and I'd completely disagree with the "Judges hold up scorecards" comment also. I find what they say very interesting, and Dave is not a judge so impossible really for him to then explain why somebody got a 4 if a run looked ok etc.

Overall I thought the judging seemed pretty spot on. Personally though I thought Brady should have been in the final. Think he just edged the first battle, and that there was no need for a one more time. But it was tight.

fully agree i like the way dave and john gibbons worked together thought it made it all the more interesting

Great event, Great atmosphere and Great result! Fair play to all the drivers over the weekend...Standard is really getting high in Ireland.. Well done to Donal Garry for getting his car back on track for top 16 and giving me a serious run for my money! Had the car set up pretty hard with High tire pressures. Didnt think he was going to be as fast as he was, he is deffo 1 to watch in Mondello!

Dennis Healy was a man on a mission, really impressive, all the DI lads were on it too. Loving the wall rubbing!

And also Great night friday and saturday nights! Got about 5 hours sleep between the 2 nights! Awsome weekend!

Thanks for the support too lads

Thought it was a good weekend and some of the entries were unreal, Donal in the cam, was going for mad entries in practice on saturday and nailed them, unlucky on sunday!!

As for amateurs, that Conor fella in the quite standard looking Red 180 was a beast, whiskers from the barrier bout 7 times on saturday!!

Only thing annoyed me was that fucking DJ on sunday, shite music pumping, what a tool playin 10yr old music, annoying cock!!

Good to meet few of you's, savage weekend!!

As everyone else has mentioned PD did a great job organising the event
It ran nothing short of perfect, well done.

I want to thank anyone that helped me fix the car friday, mainly Derk, bart andy and Tommy (without ye that would have been the end of my weekend)
First practice lap got it all wrong and bent a heap of stuff
Bent the subframe, broke drive, bent the hub, broke shock etc...
After the bang i lost all confidence and drove like crap all weekend bar maybe 2 or 3 laps that came together.

Qualified 22nd, made top 16 and lost to Barry who i was happy to loose to because he was on fire and i was happy with the runs.

Dennis is everyones hero i think
Dano's 92 point qualifying run was simply AWESOME!!
Nick Quealy will be in pro Mondello no doubt, well done ted
