The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

there is a drag racing event in N.I end of this month .
this crowd was very organised last year (mates got over 20 runs) so hope this year would be the same.


i want to take the Fto on the strip again , after teasing him with the Limerick track .

there were a few lads who showed interest so .. anyone else going?

me,me,me

deffo me dude missed out last time

overnighter again

got in touch with them .

you can pay for the drag on the day or submit the entry form (paypal)here

keith .. if we got a few cars will do an overnighter ( you miss the drinking sessions dont yea ? )

I'm still thinking of going along to this myself Seb, The idea of unlimited runs seem's pretty cool too.

I'm wondering how they work out the classes, from what I gather they have a 12second class, 13 second and so on and you can enter which one you want, winners then taking part in a final.

Doesn't really make sense, I'm sure I'm missing something.

Had a quick look at the times from last year and didn't see any fto's on the list.

Might change that yet

is this a car show too, or just a drag day? not 100% if i can make it yet, but i'd def like to try the drag strip again on a dry day

was at their event when they were still doing it in Bishopscourt (N.I.)

after that was a couple of more times there, but there were other guys doing it and was a mess so really looking forward to see this crowd again

not 100% how they make the classes but there were no FTO's on the track as far as i know.

power : there was a small show and shine area and a drift event as well . maybe they'll follow the same pattern this year

just got back .
the day was amazing with loads of surprises..


will post more as s oon as i have pics.
btw ,me & Colm were representing FTO Ireland

What kind of times were you pulling in Seb???

I got a best time of 15.34 on a mildly moist track. got to the semi finals and raced against a Civic, won that, then got to the final against an Integra Type R. lost that by .05 of a second.

Seb's best time was close enough to mine. mine were improving all through the day, it was hard to stay focussed when I had to queue for 20 mins to get another run. it was hard to remember where I went right and where I needed to improve. I finally got the hang of the launches, and I reckon if I hadn't held it in 3rd so long and changed up earlier, I would have got a better time in the final.

I know I can shave another bit off that time, not sure if there are any more events before Christmas

DC2 or DC5 Colm?

DC2

my best time was 15.43


that's 0.09 behind the GPX

so don't slag the GR's from now on .
will make a new thread with the runs and comments

colm out off intrested was the dc2 white and owner called chris mc connon known as elmo on the sites

nope, it was a black NI reg DC2 Type R.

is that an actual Police vehicle???

If yes - how did it do? Would you be able to compete?

yup, that's an actual cop car, and it raced someone, didn't get to see who.

Was it a cop driving?!
I'd love to put garda stripes on mine, if she was a show car only, dont think its allowed though.

I sense a photoshop session coming on...
