Looking forward to this and there should be quite a few class E Road going cars, including Multi-Venue cars attending.

Great day's fun. Thanks to the Laois Club for putting on this event. The tests were perfect, thanks to the help of John McAssey. The MX-5 was a lot of fun, especially when I moved on to the less grippy tyres. I mowed down a few too may pylons before that and couldn't keep the starlets under enough pressure. Well done to John McAssey for the win in Class E, closely followed by John Nolan is a similarly bog standard Starlet. James Mansfield in his new MX-5 has improved considerably since the last time we visited that site late last year and it won't be long before I need to an eye on him.

Ian White took the overall award in a Mini special, followed by Guy Foster who took 2nd place, even with a fail on one test, much to the disappointment of Darren Quille in his beautiful Westfield. Aoife Ryan took the Novice award in her Starlet shared with John Nolan.

The only disappointment was that there were only 12 competitors. With such a great event it a shame, especially now that these Hewison tests have been adjusted to suit the road going class.

Looking forward to being there again next year.
