Back from Birr Autocross…… admin, November 6, 2023January 27, 2024 The admin went for a wander “up country” to spectate at the Birr Autocross yesterday. Other Red Mist members were supposed to come along for a look but some farm work had to be done instead. Thanks to having “friends” in the Birr club, I didn’t make it past the event office as I got roped in to helping with results. As the gang in Birr club are decent skins, I couldn’t say no. The hospitality was wonderful and the chocolate orange cake was to die for…… As a result, I didn’t see a whole pile of action and managed to get only one photo. No, the Golf wasn’t competing…. The reports back was that it was a bit slippy and most definitely not a day for big power cars. Small front wheel drive cars were the weapons of choice for the day. Naturally there was some “minor cosmetic alterations” to one or two vehicles. Also, reports of a turbo intercooler pipe coming adrift was heard of in a steed piloted by a Red Mist associate member. Some nattering like old women took place with old friends also. Results can be found here https://www.stopastride.live/eventresults.php?eventid=277. Next Birr event will be the usual Turkey Chaser autotest a couple of days after Christmas. Guess who got caught to do results again….. Rallies Random

Bad news – No Lakelands Rally for us…. September 3, 2024September 3, 2024 As some have no doubt spotted from Book of Faces (all three people), we are not making the visit “up north” to Enniskillen and the Lakelands Rally. Various excuses have been proffered, ranging from lack of visas (surely MasterCard would do), “lost” the keys and can’t find the left shoe… Read More
