We are home from West Cork Rally. admin, March 20, 2025March 20, 2025 Well, we are all home from Cork Motor Club’s fantastic West Cork Rally. Well, those that headed down are all home. Others, who shall remain nameless didn’t bother to go down (for shame, for shame). Damien and Macca went down to give Owen Murphy a hand and went doing gravel notes. They must have done something right as Owen was happy with his weekend adventure. Yes, they were very busy eating ice-cream….. That being said, some troubling reports have reached Red Mist HQ of Damien and Macca both being confused as to what the shiny black stuff the cars were on. Turns out that both have competed on gravel for so long they got confused and failed to remember that sometimes cars compete on tarmac roads also. It also explains why they kept trying to look for gravel roads and turned into some farmers lanes…. Surprisingly, Macca even managed to take some pictures of cars in action… In a rather unexpected surprise, Macca and Damien even managed to bump into the marshals the met at Walters Arena when a certain “RAC Adventure” took place. So, we are back to the shed to get ready for proper rallying, on gravel… Damien Macca Rallies

We were all out at the Cork Motor Club’s Boggeragh Rallysprint and Damien & Vincy were the fastest out… Read More
Night stages over (thank God!) September 16, 2023September 26, 2023 Well, we survived the night stages here at the Bushwacker. Plenty carrots were eaten beforehand and the sumpguard light (see previous update) did it’s job. Thats Bitzy in action on stage 2. The biggest drama was some idiot spectator who “parked” (dropped more like it!) blocking in about 60 spectator… Read More
‘Tis quare quiet here….. July 19, 2025July 19, 2025 Jeepers it’s very quiet here at the moment. There’s nothing at all happening. The rally cars are gathering dust in the shed, despite Damien’s blowing some of the cobwebs off in Mayo. He was joined by Joe Shinnors for the exercise. There’s no other scandal at all in Red Mist… Read More
