Killarney: Rally of the Lakes 2009

[mole2k]

I just had a great weekend down in Killarney in what I believe is called "the sun", I even managed to squeeze a bit of time to take some landscape photos which i've never had the chance to do before down here, I'll post those later when i get them edited. (This later prompted a search party by the people who I was with who thought I had falled off into the water due to me dissappearing for so long )

It was leading up to be a very very close finish with the top 3 drivers setting times within 1 sec of each other over the first run up Molls Gap. Unfortunately two of the top drivers later crashed out over the Healy Pass so it ended up a fairly solid win for Tim McNulty.

Is that a real one?

[WHITTLER555]

Yes it is, and there is a real one not far from us for sale.

Might have to trade in all our toys to get it.

Kevin Furber is selling it.

Yeah it's real, part of the slowly sideways crowd that drive the various group B cars at Killarney before the main rally.

The guy in the 205 wasnt trying though he was just coasting through the stages, there was a few of the slowly sideways guys going hard but overall they where a bit of a dissappointment this time around compared to previous events i've seen them run at.

The guy in the 205 wasnt trying though he was just coasting through the stages.

I suppose you can't really blame him - It'd not be Maximum Best it he piled it up.

[mole2k]

I can understand it on the first few stages, it was quite wet and I would imagine lighting the turbo up would just cause all 4 wheels to spin!

He seemed to get slower as the weekend went on, he got caught by a sweeper car in a jeep on one of the last stages I was on. There was only one guy in the group B's that seemed to be trying, normally you get a few of them who actually push.
