I'm really looking forward to this as it sounds like it going to be a great day and night. Hopefully it won't rain much this week as it could make the test in the bog very interesting! Nice choice of navigator for car no 11 and I wonder how he will cope with all the local accents Smile

Massive well done Eoin and crew for a fantastic event! Really really enjoyed it - unfortunately the weather during the week made some of the test very very rough in spots, but obviously that cannot be helped by the organisers!! The tests were fantastic, fast fun and simple enough, (bar the disater that was the mountain Razz )

Well done guys huge amount of work put in and organisation, really paid off. Roll on next year Cool

Massive well done to Eoin & Crew

The crew of car #28, blue Nova, had a brilliant time on our 1st endurance event. Can't wait for the next event already !!

We spent all day preaching about these type of events at our Autosolo event today, more publicity needed as their are a number of competitors out there looking to get involved.

What if ? it had stayed dry. What a fantastic set of selectives they would have run as. Uncharitable weather Gods !

And the bits I didn't like. I doubt I know anyone who would have called it any different.

The simple conclusion belongs to someone on Sunday at Mondello : "What a fantastic group of lads they have in Birr Club !"

Big thanks to all involved for the magnificent effort all put in.

Thanks Eoin for a Brilliant event. Serious amount of time and effort put into the organising of it... Excellent tests fast and flowing. The mountain was a good test on driver and navigator just a pity we didn't get to run all the way down through the hairpins.. Quarry cut up a bit the second time but with the weather that was to be expected..
We def need more of these events for next year serious fun, loads of driving in them and a nice relaxed day of competitive sport for everyone at a small price...
Thanks again
Enda
