One of the best (and biggest) shows of the year. I haven't missed it since '08. Fingers crossed for nice weather.

Crackin' day. Numbers were slightly down due to other shows on the same day as expected. It's a pity but hopefully a similar clash can be avoided next year. Still a fantastic turn out. I didn't take any snaps unfortunately but if anyone has some it would be great if they threw them up.
The weather was incredible so I'm burnt to a crisp. It was so hot that there was even an electrical dashboard fire due to melting wires (I've been told). Poor chap hade to leave on a tow truck.
Mattie Griffin did 3 stunt shows during the day and had a huge audience each time. Everyone seemed to love it.
Trev has some new obnoxious front tyres on his drag car. Looking forward to seeing your times plummet next time out!

Tony wasn't even there with his weather forecasting stone but whatever he did worked. Thanks Tony!!!!

Agree, it was another good day.

I actually felt it was more relaxed with it being quieter.
Think people were more inclined to stop and chat as there was no rush on them to pack loads in.

Fab weather 'till we got home to Cork and it bucketed down ..... and my wipers refused to work

the few photos I took. Mostly original Irish reg VWs TBH

what kind of reaction did your drag Jetta get Trev?

what kind of reaction did your drag Jetta get Trev?

yeah, a lot of interest alright! lots of curious comments about the tyres: "did you drive it here on those?" "how do you turn corners?" "why are they bald?" etc. Glenn had a rat lineup just as you come in the gate with a Beemer 3-series, 911/912 with plenty of bodges that looked hard as nails, my Jetta, the KHI Derby that I used to have, Greg's "pullin the pin" bay, John White's Ghia, etc so it was right in people's faces as they came in. Loads of people peering into the engine bay inspecting god only knows what. End of the day I got the best rat prize. or "Worst car" prize as Caroline calls it.
