Ah, how did we get second in class? admin, May 11, 2025May 11, 2025 Well, Damien and Vincy are back from their jaunt around the woods and somehow, they got second in class 11F! Oh what a fun day it was and even I’ve no idea how Jason was presenting the awards to Damien and Vincy…… The day didn’t start too well. Thanks to a poor seeding, cars were caught and somewhere between 30 and 45 seconds were lost on stage 1. That put the lads on the back foot from the start. The only solution, knuckle down and drive! Thanks to CianDon for the photo of Damien & Vincy in action. Why CianDon was taking pictures of us we’ll never know. Thanks to some fastest stage times (for class 11F), the fightback started. We fought back to second in class but in typical Red Mist fashion, a wing mirror was sacrificed (again!). In this case, it was that horrid green wing mirror cover so it may be no loss…. It wasn’t just Damien and Vincy out in class 11F. Colin Neligan was also out for a day’s jaunt and brought it home also. Again I’m “borrowing” one of CianDon’s photos….. There’s a “theory” floating around on WhatsApp as to how the Fiesta did so well. It’s something to do with the lack of Ian’s at the event. Ya, some theory alright…. So, what’s next? There’s a few small jobs to do in the shed. There’s some holidays to have and then get ready for Cork Forest Rally…. Damien Rallies

Back from Birr Autocross…… 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… Read More
Things actually move in the shed…. December 19, 2025December 19, 2025 We cam confirm that the rumour that nothing moves in the Red Mist shed isn’t true. The reason for saying this is that the Fiesta went from one side of the shed and onto the ramp. As for the reason, would you believe that the car is due out shortly…. Read More
