(Preview by Trevor McGrath)
Subaru Pairing of PJ McGrath and Trevor J Harding will head a top class field as Carrick on Suir Motor Club rounds off their 2008 Motorsport season with a high octane Rallysprint at Kiltorcan Raceway Karting Track, Ballyhale, Co. Kilkenny on the 2nd of November. The last event of the year organized by the Carrick Club offers both the ideal motorsport activity and venue to both competitor and spectator. Clerk of the Course for the event will be Carrick Club member and popular Co Driver Billy Collins. As with any motorsport event 70% to 80% of the work goes into the organization before the event and Billy with the help of a close team have been working for over six weeks to give participants and spectators a great day’s action. Number one seed PJ McGrath will leave the start line at 10 am and with two cars on the track at one time the action will be none stop all day. Seeded at number two is Trevor J Harding in his 555 Impreza and the top three is rounded off by Willie O’Dwyer in his fabulous Metro 6R4.

The Rallysprint discipline gives the opportunity to entrants with Rally Cars including Four Wheel Drive & Turbo charged cars, Rallycross Cars and Hillclimb Saloon Cars. The event also offers the opening to competitors double driving and each car entered with two drivers will be deemed to be a separate entry. The biggest attraction of the Rallysprint is that the event gives the chance to entrants to take a passenger during a timed run. So if you have a sponsor, member of the service crew or a friend that has helped out on other events during the year this is a great time to pay them back. Details of this are on the event regulations from the club website. A run will consist of two laps of the circuit. There will be one practice run and it is intended to have three timed runs. Cars will be started in class order.

For spectators Kiltorcan Raceway offers both outdoor and indoor amenities. There’s a large outdoor viewing area as you enter the track which offers full views of both the track and pits area. Indoor facilities offer both a full view of the racing circuit and shop. For the Rallysprint event the Carrick Club will also be providing a catering service with hot food served all day. An extra attraction for the day is the voice of Irish Motorsport Dougie Hughes will be on hand giving live commentary in his own inimitable style.
