Hi all just an update what lorcan saw today was testing as there is a track day tomorrow,
Here is the paddock plan the allocated area for eircooled is to the left, there is testing on saturday morning but paddock access is possible between test sessions. At lunchtime the gates will be opened to let cars and buses across.
When you get to mondello head for gate 4 once through the gate turn left and this will bring you up to the paddock gate the track staff will arrange crossing once through head left where there is allocated parking. For all those coming down be patient getting across as the is a race track and time between races can be a little tight so you might have to wait 15-20 mins to get across. Those who are coming down saturday and staying over there is power and water you will need a lead to hook up but its all available, from around 7.30 the bbq will be kicking off at the bar and the charity auction about an hour or so later with the bar open till late.
Im not sure how many cars and vans are coming down on sunday so we are still trying to decide the size of the allocated area but we will have to cross that bridge when we get to it. We have 4500 tickets for the event in circulation and the weather forecast is looking good for the weekend so crowds should be good also there is newspaper stories and ads in 10 local papers and 2 national papers this week to try and promote the event. Entry is free to all aircooled vehicles so a free event, but there will be people selling programs and staff from Barretstown collecting with face painting and kids entertainment. So if i could ask all attending to dip in and give anything to barretstown childrens charity.
I will be parked up in a large grey truck beside the eircooled area and will have the camper beside it if anyone needs anything, if this takes off we could run a similar event for next year and maybe adding to it.
