I really enjoyed yesterdays autotests.. Especially test 1 and the 'grand prix' at the end.. It is a fantastic test site and being able to have some crossroad type tests was fun.. Hope we can use this venue again for another round... Well done to Jason, Guy and David for winning their classes... I also want to thank the marshals for helping us out.. I know it was tough marshalling two days in a row...

I trust the competitors enjoyed this event.

Piers hit the spot with the level at which the tests were set. Thanks Piers.

The weather and the venue worked well. Thanks to the landowner

Congratulations to Guy on the first win. A heartfelt well done !
I am not so sure about the Rory Power impression !

Overall I was most impressed with the standard, especially by all the beginners. Well done lads.

And now the big thanks to those without whom there would not have been an event. Even more than Saturday I wish to say a personal thanks to :

Kate Phillips

Trevor Athey

Jack Cunningham

Ian McCullagh

Paul Phelan for entries, results and prizes.

and the oft overlooked MSI stewart, Trevor Foster on this occasion.

A special thanks again

Tim

It sure was a great day. Had tremendous fun. Thank you to everyone who made it such a good day. The crossroads style test was fantastic. I should get a special award for blowing a pylon the furthest! Tim, you did some running while I was trying to manage throwing the car over that line!

Well done Guy, a good win with some serious competition

It was also great to see a good few beginners out yesterday. This time last year I was in your shoes. Keep it up, autotesting is a great sport.

Why is the next event on a Wednesday evening?

The next event is on in Frank Lenehan's yard in Stepaside. It's always held on a Wednesday evening up there. You have to do it, it's the best event of the year.

Sundays event was brilliant. Thank's to all.

Full results now posted...

Anybody have any pics of Sundays event?

Did anyone do a review or photographs of the 1st Round of the Beginners Championship?
