Change of Surface for Killarney Autocross Weekend
Posted: July 17, 2008 12:19 PM
On the August bank holiday weekend the Killarney Motor Club are running a two day loose surface autocross. This autocross is replacing the grass event that was due to be run on the same dates.
The autocross is taking place in Mike Cronins Pit located just off the main Cork road and will be well signposted.
Both days are counting rounds of the Darby O'Gill Killarney and the Munster autocross championships.
Competitors entering for both days will benefit from a reduced entry fee.
On Saturday,
scrutiny begins at 3.00pm, drivers briefing at 4.15pm, practice at 4.30pm and first timed run at 5.00pm SHARP
On Sunday,
scrutiny begins at 10.00am, drivers briefing at 11.15am, practice at 11.30 and first timed run at 12.00noon SHARP
A good entry is needed as there will be a lot of hard work put in to ensuring that there will be two good tracks in place & it would be great to see the organisers rewarded for their effort.
This is a great opportunity to do some final testing before the Cork forestry rally.
Regs and entry forms available shortly.
