Well our 1st run is over , What a Day , 25 cars lined up for instructions from John and Richard at the Ibis Hotel in Cork this Morning and what a 'baptism of fire ' it was . 1st stop was the Karting Track in Watergrasshill for 4 laps each as fast as You felt comfortable with IN MINI'S not Karts . an added twist here was the audience yes Watergrasshill was hosting a major kart race and the place was jointed with teams what a shock it must have been to see so many Minis with tyres squeeling and revs rising with loss of traction . from there a nice run over north Cork to Nad for a coffee stop and then on past Millstreet Country Park to Macroom for a late lunch and big screen video of the Track action . I want to personally thank John Lancaster and Richard Catchpole for the effort they put into the run and the 'stroke ' they pulled off getting the kart track on such a busy day was legendary . thanks also to the Lee Vally Hotel in Macroom for sorting valuable on street paarking for us and for having excellent fod and service . all told a brilliant 1st event . now I know there are lots of photos etc to be sorted and anyone who has anything to post please do so .
