his soapbox was deadly: tube frame, gokart seat, double wishbone suspension all round, disk brakes, steering rack, proper ackermann setup, custom-made wheels if you were to believe him. He must have had a clean fortune in it. He was raging that a fella with a chopped up wheelchair and another chap in a wheelie bin beat him into third place!!!
Thanks from the Limerick Classic & Vintage Car Club to everyone who supported the 23rd Limerick Show .
The sun shone & there was a huge turnout of VWs from all over Ireland ,which
made the voluntary efforts of the organisers & helpers worthwhile.
The Limerick Soapbox Grand Prix was a very popular attraction & thanks to those on Eircooled who
supported it by building & racing their karts...& to hell with the consequences
Once again Rez / Kevin provided brilliant tunes which created a great atmosphere.
