Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come out on Saturday, unfortunately we didn't get the numbers that were expected due to a few no-shows and people having to pull out at the last minute, that said, the weather on the day was pretty bad which I'm sure was a contributing factor. That said, we made the best of the day, karting was great craic even though we all got completely soaked, the Midlands tracks was excellent but difficult to navigate due to the rain and eyes full of muck!
As per usual, MfFTO was his usual competitive self, this of course paid off in the form of first place in the half hour endurance race. I look forward to contesting the title in the dry, my 4th place effort just wasn't good enough on the day
All in, we had 9 FTOs together at one time, JD and Nigel popped out to the Foxhunter briefly and I believe Chuck made an appearance at the karting track but didn't hang around! After karting, plenty of pics were taken and we headed off down the Mullingar bypass (via Mullingar town - someone was following Gfalls home to Carlow it would seem
) to the Roadhouse restaurant for a bit of grub and more idle FTO banter. Heres one pic of the cars outside the track, I'd appreciate if those of you who took pics would forward them onto me so as I can pick the best of the lot for inclusion on the site:

I look forward to the next meet (get your thinking caps on guys!), lets hope the weather will be kinder to us next time around.
