    Rosegreen Raceway in Tipp or Nutts Corner up the North - that's about it!

    Yep,nutts corner is really the best these days i would say,though iv never been there,not much of that happens in rosegreen anymore,the next banger meet there is the 16th of august,2litre FWD,mainly mondeos and primeras.

    Awful pitty Santry is gone. There's a serious amount of motorsport enthusiasts in this country and we can't all afford to trash our lovely jammer 'round mondello at €250 a pop + re-building our car afterwards. Would love to have a regular banger racing facility to go to, maybe somewhere round the midlands that is easily accesible to all. Wouldn't say no to a drag strip either. Anyone who's attented Santa Pod will agree, great venue and great events - not scroate filled like you would imagine. Real enthusiasts! We loose out on so much!

    Abbyshroul airfild near Longford tried to run a dragstrip day. Can't remember what happened the first year, maybe foot and mouth, but the second year the Garda stoped us getting to it as they shut it down,too many boy racers tearing around the place.

    There are drag events up in Bishopscourt in Co. Down. Mostly jap stuff and the strip is pretty rough. Wouldn't really be bothered travelling all the way up there for it. Would be cool to find something in the midlands that would be central to all. I would like to try my hand at the banger racing too!
