Is anyone here going? Im up here all week so I'll be up for a few jars. P.s. if you see my bike im not it the caravan beside It, we are staying in the main paddock and you aren't Allowed to bring your bikes in unless they are taking part lol.
Yup I willrbe taking many but I have to nip home to upload them As the signal up here is crap...but I only live four miles from the Track so its no biggie
Just my bloody luck, just got a call from work saying they Need emergency cover and they picked me.there was me Thinking I was going to have a lazy day up here today and Now I have to go work a shift.I need a wee lotto win.....not much Just enough to retire lol.
I'm coming over on Thursday morning till Sunday, supposed to be staying up in portrush with the folks but may try and sneak off for a crafty dundrod visit. Is the forecast any better than the nw200 phantom?
Few spots of light rain forcast for the sat.wed Dundrod 150 race looks like It will have good weather. You can find us easy...we have the rubbish caravan Planted beside the malwakee yamaha teams setup. They got us the free Passes
If I make it down I'll try and look you up phantom, have an old workmate who lives just off the kilo, so may try and get a visit in there too. Hope it stays dry, would hate to see another wash out, doesn't do the road racing coffers any good at all.
No heavy rain forcast as far as I can see.at least It looks like not a bad day for the 150. Have a job interview to do now then a whole 30 Mile detour to do to get into the paddock, bummer When I only live a few miles away lol. Flying kilo is good but watch from the flowbog Section, some real fast passes going on there.
it was on the next day, it was practice that night.been up all week and though wed was Thursday lol too many late nights and sleepless ones with all the generators. anyway here is some of the pics I took, havent edited them as there is too many to do lol
Thanks for the photo's Phantom, they are great. Very jealous, would love to have been there, but at least I got to see the pics.
Good photies Phantom, I got down late on Saturday but saw the end of the first superbike race, the super sport and the last superbike race, then got rained on! Brilliant day out, ended up at quarterlands for most of it, surrounded by some Germans and French blokes. Will have to see how well the pics came out on the iphone when I get home as the wife took the camera to take pics of ducks and trees at the argory. Currently sitting at George best airport reading road racing ireland magazine, with a pint of Guinness happy days!
cheers was a good day out, at least the weather stayed good for the most of it. there was a lot of good viewing places now prohibited this year so I was midway down the flowbog which is a section they are doing well over 120mph so it was very challenging trying to snap pics through a two meter gap between the hedges and signposts.did you see the ones going round on the marshal bikes with jeans and trainers lol, they were three of the Italian press that were with us, I messed up as I was meant to set up an on board camera for them but I was a little worse for wear on Saturday morning and slept in :s cant believe thats the road race season coming to a close already
Do you go to the short circuit stuff at all Phantom, still a few of them to go, I used to go fairly regularly to kirkistown and bishopscourt when I was still living in norn iron, plus a few trips to mondello. Need to emigrate back home really Checked my photos out, not great tbh, but that's what happens when someone is flying past you at daft three figure speeds and you're trying to get them on an iphone. I did get a lovely shot of the worlds greatest vending machine And my missus meeting a cow, And for the first time ever, I got to bregagh road to find no cars or bikes there, and didn't have my bl@&dy bike with me!!!
tbh I never bother with the short circuits now.used to go to them when friends were racing but they are all sadly gone now so I just never bother now.I live beside nutts corner so it used to be fun to sneak into for a few cheeky laps. oh and I know what you mean about the crisp's, thats one thing I miss when on my hols.you might find this link real handy https://www.taytogroup.com/online-shop.html?eprivacy=1
