Rallysprint 27 December

Have just done entry online for rallysprint. have to say fair play to carlow club for online entry system. mondello could learn a thing or two from them. look forward to taking my new car on a test drive.

Put my entry in aswell; Fair play to paul and the boys who are all clued in to this thing called the Internet ;)

All sorted then ? Whats your excuse for not having the car out last day ?

had a few problems with the turbo but all looks good at the moment . 400bhp and rwd means lots of fun -ie. a drift machine.

Sounds like a handful for you. Drifting is not a good idea at the sprint tight at most corners. Hope you got plenty of spare panels for it.

funny i heard that you needed spare panels for your car after events you competed in. panels for my car may be a problems since there is only a handful of them rallycrossing. i'm sure someone will give some help on sourcing new ones, have heard that scandivnavians are very helpful .

Never have stuffed that bad car in 15 years of rallycross. More than I can say for some people. How many times did you have to reshell the last one.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: thats the best laugh i've had in ages. And now for the truth. c'mon mudguard spill the beans. we all know you're telling lies. v few cars have not been reshelled over the years and your car isnt one of them.

No just the oddwing on mine. But I know yours has try and keep it RSD its been a long thie since you have raced hope old age has improved your temper and your reactions they always seemed a bit slow remember hands at10 to 2 and the middle one is the brake.

Ha HA somebody knows The Fiddler and his driving style.

feeling funny mudguard. didnt they teach you pedal under right foot is accelerator.

congrats to david james :)

What a crap day Weather wise :D, after my high speed spin and gravel trap visit on rallycross 2 i managed to come away from the day with the car intact!

Well Fiddler where was the beast ?? Did not see it on track or in the paddock.

Think you may need glasses !! There was 151 of us racing.

I didnt see your new car there either nothing even close to your discription.

suggest you get your glasses changed then tom. ones you have are obviously not working. whats story with mr coyne overtaking a wrc subaru. pity that not all drivers get third runs and others did four. totally unfair - how can they call overall results for day. also guys coming straight out of garages to top of queue. where's the fairness in that. sitting in a line for an hour going nowhere. what a joke

Dont know about results but I would say that first 2 timed runs would give it anybody who looked at results should be able to tell. But you still hadnt your new car out yet. I spent all day there giving a hand and spectating.

I would have to agree with you fidler, there was alot of waiting around. At the end of the day i sat waiting for 45 Minutes for my 3rd run before being told to go back to padock that my 2nd run time would also be my third.

To be fair the weather was getting worse and the light was deminishing, however i do have to say that the 130 Entries rule again this year was put out the window (the entry form did state that the event was limited to 130 entries) however 151? People finished the event, with a whole heap of retirements during the day did slow things down a bit. It should be quality over quantity.

I would have to agree with you fidler, there was alot of waiting around. At the end of the day i sat waiting for 45 Minutes for my 3rd run before being told to go back to padock that my 2nd run time would also be my third.


How come only some drivers were given their 2nd run time for their third run and others who were waiting were given a time of 15minutes ruling them out of awards

not sure to be honest, there was a guy with a clipboard going around collecting numbers for the people who were lined up.

Then again this is the 3rd year in a row that ive gotten an Estimated time.
