yeah, IKEA's handy. If we meet in Portlaoise at noon, we should be there about 12.15/12.16.





























;) more like 13:15 - 13:30 depending on traffic.

Cool, I'll aim for around the 13:15 mark then ;)

Anyone else travelling up around then, Keith, Rez, Lorcan, Tsar, Liam, etc?

Rez is out, he's already left home in an effort to get to Armagh before closing time tomorrow. ;)
I reckon either he or Ross will be taking home the slowest car award ;)

I can't see Tsar being ready either. Drag day 2014 maybe.

Thats it, the van is packed, i think ive pretty much got everything covered
Dave and Nikki are still putting some finishing touches together, Heading to the dyno in in the morning where Mark
and Liam
will be working their magic and putting all those Eircooled motors through their stride on the rollers. Then im off to Bishopscourt to setup, where its all happening come Sunday,
Wayne has all the cars programmed in on the timing system, i think hes even polished the bulbs on the tree. The printers, Suppliers, sponsors, donors, makers, fixers, midnight welders, companies both uk and ireland have all done as they said they would from the start and stepped RIGHT UP!!

This event simply wouldnt have happened without all these guys and gals
AND YOU!!! Thank you Eircooled for being the main supporters of the event, you are all legends.

WE ARE READY!!!

The first ever All Ireland Aircooled Drag Day is about to happen!!!


Safe travels EVERYONE!
Me, im getting an early night (for once)

Just in from the pub. I'm planning on heading up from Kilkenny in the morning around 10 on my own. Should be hitting Dublin before 12 and I'm booked in on dyno just after 3. If anyone thinks these times might suit, gimme a buzz (I'll try to check pm's before I leave) and we could meet somewhere en route.

i think i'll chance leaving the trailor behind tomorrow,and hopefully get to Armagh before three to see some of the dyno runs.
will be heading from Athlone,through Cavan,to Armagh.my friend Seanie is driving too,with a toe rope!
if anyone would like to tag along,that'd be great.
have a favour to ask-if anyone heading towards Armagh has a spare 5 by 205 wheel knocking around,could they bring it along?as i have absolutely no spare..
would be very grateful..thanks.

Ok

Ive been quietly jealous of you guys heading up but I'm gonna bungle the kid and wife into the car and head up in the morning! Weather I go in the bug or daily I'l do my best to make this. Amazed by the effort you guys have put in and truly impressed!

Hope to see you guys!

Thanks for what looks to be a great day.
