so what news today?

Two days racing means you guys will want a complementary energy boost, actually it was more a case of what do you do with 300 stickers that the printers f*cked up :mad:

There is so much going on in the background, i thought the first drag day was nuts for people doing last minute builds but this year seems to have eclipsed that, buy a barn find on thursday and have it ready in a week!!!!!!! its just crazy out there in build off land.

i'll try and keep the updates coming as much as i can this week, the bulk is on the Facebook page so regulars feel free to share whats going on in there as it saves me much needed time on the computer, were off to the track for a major cleanup operation tomorrow.

keep at it. :D

Ok so me Dave and Tall Paul did a day up at the track today, all prepped and ready for you guys to rock up on Saturday, in fact, Bishopscourt has never been so tidy.
One thing that always gets folk is directions, there are two race tracks at bishops court, the airfield circuit which we use and Bishopscourt short circuit which runs parallel to the Lismore road.

when you come down to the end of the Lismore road from Downpatrick, you will turn left towards Strangford (not Ardglass) this short video shows you the route to the track straight after you make that left turn, hope it helps.

Missed yesterdays racing... due to going to Newcastle to see the red arrows... only to find out that they cancelled due to a technical issue...

Jumped into the van this morning and made my way down, and what a blast it was. Here's a few photos to try and give you a taste of what this event is all about..
