Right all i thought i had better fill in the details, firstly the date is set by Mondello as part of their race calendar so they have no concern over terenure. This years event will be sponsored by Dunlop and all money raised will go to Lauralynn House childrens hospice. Last year we raised €13208 for Barretstown so this year we hope to raise more for a very deserving charity. This years event will be a full 2 day event as opposed to last years which was a 1.5 day event so all are welcome from early saturday morning and we will have lunchtime events on both days. This will be a free event for all our eircooled friends we will have allocated parking like last year and a party on saturday night and probably a few hangovers on sunday morning. I will add more details as we get closer to the event we are hoping to have bigger crowds this year with a couple of events to promote the weekend in the weeks coming before. And maybe we can surpass one of the strangest sights of last year with a split passing a ghia towing a caravan on the main straight even writing it seems far fetched.

what format do you post a video in? I have a video of last years parade lap taken from inside the buzle but having issues putting on to youtube, then just noticed you have an insert video button on this forum.

We landed on friday night expecting to travel home on sat night (5hrs in the buzle with a chip and pee's stop), but enjoyed the craic too much and stayed on till sunday night -- great event might get this year if I can get off work.

YouTube is best, but if it's too big it won't upload.

What size is it?

Thanks Justin I'll look it up again -- had it on my old computer but it calved a while ago luckily I had backed up the edited version on a stick but will have to save it as something you can use. So will have to download videopad to convert it I expect

the video shows a chap in front of me in a gold / silver bug blowing up 'I think' didn't get time to ask cos had to hurry home straight after parade lap hope that wasn't you - looked expensive

A reminder to all the Dunlop Formula VEE festival is only a month away all aircooled vehicles get in free overnight parking for saturday night in the paddock. The bar is open late and if its like last year the drinking will be even later, all are welcome laps of the track at lunchtime again which made for great entertainment last year. All money raised goes to charity.

I'm hoping to bring the bug to this, although it'll be touch and go as to whether it'll make it as I've a lot to get finished on it before the weekend.
