Just found out that a group have purchased timing gear,lights etc over here, all wireless equipment and are thinking of setting up events in ireland!!

The first trial event is on the 4th oct in bishopscourt,the guy who's running it said since people have heard about this he has been bombarded from different clubs etc and he said he didnt think there would be so much interest!!! as far as im aware is an ex airbase or something, so at last we over here might get our chance to get a few runs in and do a bit of testing, if i,d have known sooner i'd have done a bit of work on the car, but this could be the very spark to make job of it!

I'll lt you know how it goes! fingers crossed

Oh and as far as i know this will be one of the first properly timed `1/4 mile event ever here!!!

Never know Dave, will have a look at the events calender and see, May even get you over to do a club shoot at some stage? if you were up for that? on us of course!!!
Just something i had in the back of my mind for a while, nice to have a quality photo guy who loves his cars too to get the best from the car pics.
But thats just an idea, will get back to you when i have a better idea.

Good idea Mo, would be nice to have something in ACW about the Irish scene. Will try and tie it up with a trip over home at some point next year.

Was driving the duster, needs a few bits but its now a good time to strip and rebuild, the motor was to be changed anyhoo, now will look into doing it right! the steering box pulled the motor back on the motor plate mounts, and kinked the header, also sheered the box bolts, steering arms are bent and idler arm, bottom arm and upper a arm, so in all, new wing, repair all right side, upgrade front susp, remove motor and box, build new motor, and go fom there!
this is how it looks now.

Why is there a white Superbird behind your car Mo? Is that your next secret weapon?

That's a real shame Mo, the Duster was looking real nice

Glad you werent injured or any other vehicles involved....could have been a whole lot worse I guess. I'm sure you'll be back good as new in no time, bigger, better and faster
