Mondello 22nd April

[Motormouth]

Great days racing at Mondello yesterday, I was out in a Global, had a ball, great little cars. Dunlop Supercars were great to watch as ever and the FF1600 races were good too. There must be a few marshals with overalls still drying on the radiator today though, that was some shower of rain at the start of the Libre race........
Pics already up on www.conconnolly.com by the way

Sure enough checked the marshaling gear this morn and it was still wet!! It was nasty! Great racing tho especially the ff160 they were super close!

At long last some irish circuit racing threads,its well overdue,i thought even Motormouth had lost his tongue!

I only got to see the last few races but the FF1600 was best I seen.

Was standing in bar during the wet Libre race, could here major wheelspin as the first few F3000s wet by on the straight!!

Nope, I'm still here
Looks like we are in for a good season too. FF1600 seems to be really close. With Turley back in Dunlop Supercars, Johnny Fingers Whelan and Rod McGovern will have to work even harder, and Dave O'Brien should be right there too!!
Punto Abarths look a bit week but the 1400 Punto class has 4 or 5 new guys and it looks the evergreen Unos are head for grids of 20 cars again this year!!!
17 Globals out last Sunday too, with one or two people looking to join in the fun............. Haven't heard from Gearboxman on here for a while, he had a good weekend with a third and a fourth in the Globals. Mind you, I took him on a tour of the public houses of Naas on Sunday evening so maybe he is still recovering.........
Crunch had a weekend from hell in FF1600 too. Problem with the engine on Saturday meant he didn't get to test or race. Surely his run of bad FF1600 luck must end soon
Anyone want to pick a championship winner in any of those classes?
And who is going up to Kirkistown on Saturday??
I assume Pat Mustard will be up there taking notes??

Recovered now thanks Leo
Had a great weekend in the car, and a wicked night out in Naas

Have to say Michael Conway's looking strong and consistant in the Globals, but you can't rule any of that front pack out.

[Motormouth]

Yeah, Michael Conway looked very strong at the weekend, his car seems to be well set up too. Mind you, I helped him by holding up the pack for a few laps while he escaped!! Its amazing how wide a Global can be sometimes!!!
Keith Dawson looks good too, and he's had two wins out of three........
Maybe we can Tango them both with the two Orange cars at the next round!!!!

[gearboxman]

You know you've been Tangoed!

[goforit500]

Looking forward to seeing ya all at Anglesey at the end of the month (If I have a drivetrain, of course ).........
