Phoenix Park Races Cancelled
It is with great regret that I have to post this topic. But it has been confirmed by Motorsport Ireland that the annual Phoenix Park races have been cancelled for 2002.
This is one of the highlights of Irish motorsport. Hopefully it will be back on track next year for the centenary races in 2003 Last edited by PPitstop; 6 Jun 2002 at 19:36. |

Sad, sad news indeed. I look forward to "The Park" every year and I'm sorely disappointed at it being cancelled this year. I guess we'll have to wait until next year. |

it is sad but from what I've heard, I think that they'll use the resources saved this year to put together something really special for the centenery next year?
And if anyone is stuck for something to do, don't forget there is a Kart meet at Mondello on the Sunday and the Monday and it's one of the biggest ones of the year. Marshals always welcome! |

Looks like Karts will be cancelled as well I'm afraid. Certainly the next one is cancelled and unless Mondello is modified, they will be cancelled for the foreseeable future.
*sigh* |

Well one bit of good news - at time of writing (and this is always subject to change of course) the Karts at Mondello Park are back on - 4th and 5th of August.
All marshals welcome - if you want further details (although right now there aren't any!), send me a PM or an email |

Will Alien Marshal be there too ??? Might be a nice opportunity to bring Badly along too for his debut at Mondello, get to meet Cartman and ME!!!

Alien marshal will indeed be there - Badly is too young to go out on the banks so I don't think he'll be joining us

Sorry to hear you are losing such a prestige meeting this year, I hope it is back on for next year's centenary. Which weekend is it traditionally? If I am the right side the pond I will make an effort to join you.
