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

Some Disassembly Underway…. July 15, 2023September 26, 2023 Preparations for Cork Forest Rally are underway in the Red Mist shed. As I have the technical knowledge of an empty coke can, all I got was some words I didn’t understand. I heard something about a “missing 17” (whatever that means), “faded stickers” and “scrapyard”…. I believe this was… Read More
