The traditional Carlow Motor Club Christmas Sprint in Mondello Park attracted a large entry as usual, from all parts of Ireland crews made this annual pilgrimage to shake off the Turkey and take a well earned break from the umpteenth    showing of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory.

The chicane just before the bridge was under attack right from the word go, drivers who seemed unhappy with its layout quickly modified it. While others simply took a different line through it and around it.

Irish Hillclimb champion Simon McKinley and fellow competitor Rory Stevens had fun in their fiat Seicento, its about 500BHP short of their usual Hillclimb chariots. But it looked like the lads were having loads of fun.

From the picture below I’d say Simon put the Box Of Daz washing powder to good use, his racing suit looks uncharacteristically clean!

All in all, it was a good days Racing.. More Pictures in the Gallery ...

We hope to see ye all again for Marshals Day 2012 Happy Newyear to all
