n as n approaches infinity (what sort of an engineer are you?!!)
You can have as many in a car as you can fit – you will probably need all the help you can get.

Message for Keith Slowey:
If you could marshal tomorrow night it would be great. Summerhill Hotel somewhere between 7 - 7.30.
Anybody else who is free around this time would be very welcome.
Thanks.

[QUOTE] you will probably need all the help you can get.

Is that a dig at me, or the entire field?

Its probably looking like ill be available to help out instead of taking part. I cant secure a car or crew. You think it would be easy for me given my suppeeior intolect.

TOTALLY Colin Farrell ! ......................................DEADLY BUZZ.




WHAT AN ABSOLUTE BLAST ! It took me two hours to wind down enough to go asleep, after ! ! !

Thanks a million Ian, and his crew of officials.

And an apology , to Ian! Upon reflection I was late into TP 3. We were stuck behind Damien Doran for a while and , despite an acquaintanceship dating back 47 ! ! years, Eoin resisted the Faulkner influence to be impolite and put pressure on to pass. Not at all like Trevor.

I dont know how the winners gained the two penalties ( seconds ?) advantage over us into the last control but well done to them both. I think I was matching mileage tenths to seconds rather than seconds to road. Put that down to experience !
And the evening also shows I need to get more precise with the plotting.

The plotting was the hard part: thanks to Nikki D and Ray ( Trevor's nav) for resolving a couple of errors in the route marking. But plenty of different types of route instructions to learn with.

Out in car was great: no mal de nav: no rows. But God ! the road back from Glencree was rough in the dark : wasn't half as bad when we were out practising on Sunday in the daylight ! !

Does everyone else not keep a scribble sheet with your cumulative distance /time at the speeds ? ? Or how do ye do it ?

Roll on the Irish Classic ! Have to get into negotiations for a seat !

Thanks again Ian & the crew !

Tim
