Where exactly is it on?

Limerick Racecourse - Not too far away for you really.

At the moment though there is just the Show & Shine places left unless you want to add your name (along with Dan) as stand-by for any canx on the 1/4 mile.

Nope, just want to visit, I can do the show an shine, but I think mine might be the least modded of the lot of you.

Got nothing to do with mods Dean. FTO's are great looking regardless, especialy when they're a line of them!

guys im not doing the show and shine sorry

Naaaah.

All I have done so far is a PIAA sports horn

The modifications section of my entry form is being left blank

MFFTO - was in Sleek today and one of them was asking for you...

To those in show and shine: The guy there requested that we all be there at the same time so that they can park us up - it'll make their life a whole lot easier as they have to allocate a certain amount of space to us... Can we arange a time so? Say 9.15 maybe?

Also, be prepared for a long day - sign up before 10 and can't leave till 6...

Im still touch and go, sensors didnt fix the car but as soon as I know more Ill pay up... That ok or is there a deadline I should know about?

I've got my form with me, I'll fill it out and send it on, I'll PM you Colm once it's done!!

Have you a very small head? Have you anything against pink flowers? If it's good enough for Mondello it's good enough for Limerick.

I hate that shirt in that pic...

im filling my form in at the mo! will have her in the post in the morning! what time we gotta be there for the 1/4 mile!!!

i hope everyone will be nice to be cause ill be there on my own cause himself is goin to a wedding in lanzarote (that i got out of!) ill be makin the way down from Mayo the morning of the show!

I wonder is there scope for doing both the qt mile and the rolling road..

filling in my form at the mo..

didnt know there was a rooling road this year!!! thats cool!
Kruizer should know if both can be done!!

Not to worry, you'll know me, and all the folks from here are the business.


Actually... are there any plans being formed for post Sleek FX...?

I have work the next day but I don't care!!

ok i cant do it! my dad's wedding reception is on in mayo the day before and i thought i might be able to get away on sunday to come down but i cant now as it would mean leaving at 6am to be there for 9am registration and the reception will likely be a late one, dont fancy doin the drag with only a few hrs sleep!!

Dan u can have my place!!!! hope you all have a ball!!! i might pop in on my way back to waterford later in the day!

yes two teams by the looks of it, one pure FTO Ireland team and one FTOZ Ireland team!

It's all kosher guys, 2 teams going ahead. (we just need a Miss Enzo replacement!)

As for rolling road, If anyone's interested in participating, can they PM me, just want to gauge numbers at this stage - trying to sort something with Sleek for the guys doing the sprint but would need to check if we have anyone who's interested first.

I'd be on for both rolling road and 1/4 mile if possible - which it should be as the team 1/4 mile normally doesn't happen till the afternoon giving you a few spare hours in the morning for the rolling road. Shouldn't be too much hassle with access - the place is big enough. I'll be into Sleek tomorrow and I'll have a chat with Peter.

lads how much is the 1/4 mile. love to do it if there was a place just worried as no real tunning done on my car just standard.. looks like i will still have my fto on sept 14th. my second and last meet unfortunately before oz

Go for it Ken, there's one space left, and a manual GPX is just the car to fill it.

More info in the sticky on the meets page.

@ Ken : Most lads do it as a bench mark, run the 1/4 with their car, do a few bits and run it again down the line. Often racing against the clock is the purest measure of drivers responses...

Is there a limit to the amount of 'guests' you can take in to the show in your car? I know they pay anyway but did I see somewhere that each car is only allowed one other person besides the driver? Cause I'd be bringing 2, Drew and my kid neighbour. If theres a limit would someone who has no other person mind taking one of them in in their car just into the grounds?

Could they not just get out of the car, pay, walk through the gate, then get back in?
