9th Feb 2013: TDC Mondello Multi-Venue Autotest

Hey mark love the escort and well done today. The first of many I hope

Great event, well done mark and everyone involved, very enjoyable and well ran.

To Mr Mark as COC.
As per other comments : The whole thing was simply superb. Brilliant ! !

I dont know what it is, but there is just something about doing tests in Mondello that works. These went from being as good as you get anywhere else to Test 4 : - that still brings smiles to my face. It just flowed, and went. Loved it !

All except for some eejit ..............
Big apologies to all for disappearing with the awards.
For what its worth (not a lot) it was an attention deficit issue; I went off doing something else and forgeot they had been put in my car. Apologies again !

Thanks mick, was a disaster from a results point of view haha, but I had some crack. Less trigger happy on the handbrake and less time spent going sideways will do me a world of good next time Laughing

Thank you all for the comments, it makes the effort that goes into these events worthwhile when you hear such great feedback.

I'd like to extend my thanks on behalf of the TDC machine to all competitors, for behaving in a manner that makes this event a joy to run. There was negligible damage done over the day which is solely down to competitor discipline, so thank you all for that.

TDC Mondello MVAT is the result of numerous efforts from several club members. Myself and the competitors would like to thank Trish Denning - Entries Secretary, Eoin O Curry and Ian McCulloch - Marshals, Paul Phelan - Permits and Results, Patrick Dore (Non TDC Member) - Results, Timmy Faulkner - Awards, Frank Lenehan And Joe Doran - Equipment, Eamonn King - Time Cards and Ideas Man.
It takes a full day to set up Mondello to whom I'd like to thank the following for their help: Robert Bolton, IanMcCulloch, Frank Lenehan and others. This cannot be achieved by one person so their help is much appreciated.

I'd like to give a big thank to Mondello and staff without who's assistance this event cannot happen.

As always, a huge thank you has to go to all the marshals. This event is taxing on marshals, there is very little let up throughout the day as cars are leaving and arriving every minute for hours on end. As with last year, all marshals at TDC’s events will be entered into a prize draw at this years’ AGM.

Results this year were speedy down to a new program created by Patrick Dore and yours truly. This event was the first to use it and I am happy to report its success. Further development of this will ensure that future TDC events experience similar speedy and accurate result postings. With 1200 Tests to be computed and results issued within half an hour of the final car finishing, that’s not bad going.

Until next year,

Mark

Actually Mark who do I complain to about the back and neck pain I'm suffering today

25 tests back to back my body is broken Wink

It was a great event. Thank's to all involved.

But you had half an hour break for lunch? Razz

Thank you for the kind comments, as Mark said, it was a team effort by everyone involved and it makes it all very worthwhile when the paddock is full of happy people enjoying themselves. All of the tests were brilliant and it was fantastic fun. I hit my normal quota of pylons along the way but I'm glad to report that they were all soft ones!

We missed Mick Fisher's cheerful face in the paddock on Saturday (he had to cancel due to an injury) and we wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him behind the wheel of his Starlet very soon.
