Sounds like a great day wish i could have gone is there any vids is it gunna be on telly anyone no thanks mark !!

quietmouse1984 · 16-03-2008, 12:19

Was excellent day - enjoyed it as always. but it was fricken freezing.

also did get to wander round the pits early in the day before main qualifying so had no compliants.

Some nice driving fellas, can't wait to be out there myself.

will get the fella to uploads vids in media section asap.

steady eddie · 16-03-2008, 12:21

Enjoyed the evening but I have to agree a little pit time would of been better.(only allowed in if wearing blue wrist bands)

Also from a spectator point of view a little "dead time" would of been cut out if the 40 minute practice had been split into 2 x 20 minutes. Then the first running cars could be prepered to run the qualifiers as soon as the second group had their 20 minute practice. making the event flow a little smoother.

Was impressed with some driving though

RandomGuy · 16-03-2008, 12:30

absolutley awesome night.
weather was frickin freezing im just about thoring out lol.
then got a bollocking off webby on the way home for havin the heaters on to much :you'll get chill blanze" lol

the final, oh my god, how do you judge that, of course in the last 1 ffrenchy straightened up at 1 point, its crazy that that 1 small mistake could lose it for you. 2 amazing drivers.
was amazing to see nobnob settle into the angry pirate so well, but what was with the limiter?? sounded like a terrible missfire, was the bee-R limter set low or something??
2 drivers who really stood out to me last night who really impressed me was.
1. Dan in the corrolla
2. scotty in the 34

you guys rocked last night!!!

apart from that a very great night had by all ..well nearly all ...

well played niall .. you rock mate

so looking forward to rounds 2 and 3.

oh and PMSL @ the dude who said about dans car, wow a corrolla, cant belive there is only 1 corrolla in the competition ...

and wow that skyline is awesome, @ the angry pirate

frickin loser.. lol

Andyh33 · 16-03-2008, 12:47

Was a great nite

All the drivers were fantastic 2 watch

bon how did you miss the skyline that spun infront of
you was awsome

well done 2 the organisers

missy · 16-03-2008, 13:08

got home about half hour ago and just about to sort through approx 1000 pictures, so will get some up later..

well done to niall and the team!

as for access to the pits. when you spend alot of money on tools and parts, you don't want them going walkies

just an idea. maybe it could be sorted that the drivers cars are lined up on the circuit for spectators to look over whilst they are in the briefing before qualifying, as it's the cars the spectators want to see up close in the pits, not the tool boxes and broken parts

after all they take the cars on the circuit after the briefing...

Cooper · 16-03-2008, 14:52

Fantastic event - not long back in NI but very glad I made the trip even though fueling problems prevented me from getting me as far as qualifying.

The track was superb, great craic and well organised. Kudos to Niall and the organisers.

Andy

FlikstRR · 16-03-2008, 15:03

just walked in the door, knackered lol.

I dont know what can be said that hasn't already but kudos to ALL drivers, an awesome display from early closed qualifying to the big show in the evening.

great comeradery from all in the pits, chipping in to what can only be described as a gearbox graveyard.. I had the count at 6 boxs, 2 diffs and a bottom end

other than that mental mental driving from the top 4, made it worth the freezing/wet conditions. Frenchy is now my idol.

Dan's 90 degree exits almost EVERY lap need a mention as does Beezys progression. Such HARD luck to get so far to have a car failure take you out.

JDM team, media and staff should all be proud of themselves. Awesome weekend.

(oh and LOL@mitto locking himself out his motor. congrats oh ginger one)

lozza · 16-03-2008, 15:18

Was a good night! I do agree with the waiting a long time between qualifying and the PA system, but thats only things to improve on in the next round

The final was awesome!! Loved Frenchie's twinning!!!

Good driving by all!!!

**Mitch** · 16-03-2008, 17:04
