The IRCA wish to thank all those who took part in the Marshal's Day. The day was a huge success and a special thanks to all the drivers who took part and gave willingly of their time and cars. All who were lucky enough to get a seat were treated to a special day.
It is a credit to Irish Competitors that so many turned out to salute marshals, and when asked to, queued to take the Chernobyl children for a spin. The atmosphere and comradery of the day spoke volumes of the sport and, we believe, that there are few sports that could boast such a day.Well done to all who turned up to Marshal, help and drive.

IRCA SAY THANKS TO MARSHALS
Thanks to Declan Tumilty
On July 22nd, Mondello Park will set stage for an event unique to Irish Rallying, when IRCA (IRISH RALLY COMPETITORS ASSOCIATION), pay tribute and thanks to Ireland's marshals. 80 of our top competitors will give their time and cars in order to provide laps of the famous track, so that marshals can, for once, sit back and enjoy the thrills of these cars from the inside. IRCA hope, that with drivers such as Austin McHale, Andrew Nesbitt, Eamon Boland, Frank Meagher, Tommy Graham, Kevin Barrett, Kenny McKinstry, Niall Maguire, Willie Singleton, Kieran O'Neill, to name but a few, already committed, the day will prove exciting and enjoyable to everyone. While it is hoped that every marshal should get at least one spin in a Gp A, all classes of cars will be represented, so marshals can prepare to buckle up and hold on tight.
IRCA believe that it is long since time that competitors gave something back to those for whom our sport is so heavily indebted, and we are assured of a great response from Ireland's drivers.
