Alot of setup work will happen over next 36 hours.
Weather is looking mostly good!

Spectator safety barrier and rostrum is up. Grass cut once, another run round with the mowers should do it. Overall track length is 170m with room to extend if needed. The track has been cut with speed in mind and not too technical which should allow for some good close racing!!!!

Results and a mini-report will follow this week

It ended up a good day today.

The weather made if hard work at the start. Well, when I drove in and saw a gazebo / tent in the pond, I started to think would we get racing at all.

Thanks to everyone who turned up for the racing. It was a real team effort from everyone, great to see the club coming together for an important public event.

Special thanks to the lads from Cork who had a 3 hr drive to come racing today.

If anyone has photos from the day, please let me know.

There's a few people that need to be thanked for their efforts over the weekend...

Dave Bolger - for liaising with the organisers and securing a very good site
Eoin Keating - for supplying the top-notch PA system
Micheal Bolger - for donating the raffle prizes
Alan Dwyer + Co, - for making the effort to travel up from Cork
Dave Bolger again - for organising the barriers and rostrum
Michael O'Leary/Dave - for cutting a huge amount of grass
All racers - for putting on a good show and keeping the crowd entertained
Special thanks to all those who unpacked/packed Lucan on Friday and Sunday.

I think for a reformed club, really only in its first full season of proper racing in over 10 years that the club did well yesterday. With practice, I expect all racers to be able to work to a timetable soon - it was always going to be difficult to produce a timetable that would please both racers and spectators; yesterday I think the spectators won.

Don't forget William White too, for being a seriously good bloke and letting so many peeps pit in his awsome Marquee ! Also for sorting the drinks to keep us all hydrated (didn't help the wind/sun burn any !) and lolly pops for the millions of kids who loved the racing. Top job mate

[Mugenextreme]

Have to say had a great day yesterday, thanks to everyone involved in getting this event up and running. Pity about the sun burn i am suffering with today. Of all the days not to warn us about using sun cream Will.

Anyway took a few picks , not as many as i would have like but i was a little rushed getting cars charged and stuff.

Who's got my tent pegs?
Managed to misplace 12 x heavy duty tent pegs at the weekend - all about 8 - 10 inches long.... if you have them, please keep them for me.

Fo those who want a tent like mine, the link is below, but the price has gone up considerably. Still good value though....

Hi all,

Just a couple of things to wrap this event up;

1. I'll have the CD of photos from the photographer tomorrow - will put the good ones up on the club website. All others will be available on a CD from myself or Dave Bolger at the weekend.

2. I promised a mini-report, but I've been so busy since the meeting that I can't remember what the hell happened - so your not getting the report... sorry. I'll pay more attention next time.

3. The results are posted on www.dublinmodelracing.com

Hopefully this event will become a regular feature in the annual calendar.

I have 4 x DVD of photos - probably about 500 pics.
They are very "raw" - so I'll pick out the best ones and put onto a CD for those who want copies.

I'll put the best up on the website soon.

[Model Mechanix]

Savage, can I get a copy of all 4 please, I'll give you bank discs this weekend.
