Due to the large entry Sign On will start at 9AM.

Also Drivers are asked to bring along completed Entry Form (If not already done so).

It would also be a great help if drivers can bring along the Exact Entry Fee - €40 & if you are utilizing a 1 Event Licence all in cost €65.

Starlets, Scones & Stew

The Annual Birr & District Motor Club’s Christmas Autotest took place on New Years Eve in the excellent venue at Garahys Garage, Fortal, Birr. 47 Drivers took part in this most enjoyable event with 1st time Clerk of the Course Leo Brophy at the helm.

On arrival Drivers had an opportunity to walk the 3 Tests and then enjoy the wonderful Home Made Scones provided by Eithne Garahy, this was only the start of the Culinary Trail that was on offer.

Within Minutes of the start, Top Dublin Autotester Frank Lenehan suffered a broken driveshaft and duly followed by Paddy Fay who suffered from the same problem in the Tiny Motorsport Projectile. This was Paddy’s 1st Autotest since 1961. All was not over as both cars were speedily & professionally repaired by Ian McLoughlin, Ger Connolly & Oliver Stanley with special thanks to fellow drivers Rob Lewis & Cian Robinson who provided the spare driveshafts. Hannah Garahy had Brake Problems with her Starlet and duly went double driving in dad Kieran’s Starlet as it had brakes!!! The majority of the cars competing on the event were mainly Toyota Starlets but Gordon Percy from Nenagh arrived in a Mazda 323f and put on a great display of driving and received the entertainers award along with Ian Lucas from Moystown.

After 6 Tests a fabulous lunch was provided in Garahy’s Garage comprising of Beef Stew followed by the most delicious Chocolate Cake which was really appreciated by all the Drivers & Event Officials. Most of us left Garahys with bigger waistlines!!!

9 Tests were completed with Richard Meeke emerging the popular winner on a winning margin of 14 Seconds from 2nd Placed Driver Niall Murray who was only a mere 0.26 Second clear of 3rd placed Frank Lenehan. Niall Murrays brother Eoin was only 1 Second behind Frank Lenehan, a tight finish indeed.

Class 1 was dominated by Birr Motor Club Members with Mark Shanahan (Borrisoleigh) winning the class in a Nissan Micra, runner up was Patrick O’Leary (Cork) and 3rd in Class 1 went to Darren Delaney (Camross). Patrick & Darren were both driving Toyota Starlets.

In Class 2 it was Eoin Murray who emerged victorious from John McAssey with David Meeke coming in 3rd in Class. The award winners in Class 3 were 1st in Class Mark Doran, 2nd went to Mark Guerin and 3rd went to Cathal O’Carroll.

1st Birr & District Motor Club Driver went to Rob Lewis (Dunkerrin), 2nd David Forde (Nenagh) & 3rd went to Whitby Moynan (Nenagh). In the Ladies Class, Zara Moynan (Nenagh) came out on top, with Pauline Forde (Nenagh) finishing up Runner Up despite trying to break the Husbands David’s Car with 3rd Lady Driver going to Hannah Garahy (Birr) after a brilliant drive despite the Brake Problems.

Other club drivers who competed included Lee Deane (Shinrone), Ronan Shanahan (Roscrea), Kieran Garahy (Birr), Declan Donohoe (Mount Temple), Damien O’Meara (Toomevara), Ciaran Dwyer (Arigna), TJ O’Brien (Nenagh), Mick Boland (Birr), Peter Molloy (Ballinahown), Ger Connolly (Birr), Bill O’Brien (Coolbawn), Cian Robinson (Tynagh), Joe Buckley (Borrisoleigh), Clive Moynan (Nenagh) who all thoroughly enjoyed the days sport.

The Birr & District Motor Club would like to thank Kieran & Eithne Garahy for the wonderful venue & food, MI Steward John Fogarty, Clerk of the Course Leo Brophy, Results Team Mark Parsons & Una O’Brien, The Carrot Peeler & all the Marshalls who made the event a real success.
