Eglinton, Northern Ireland – 4 Sep 2011
The beginning of September saw my first visit to the land of my fathers (well, great great grandfather).

Monday 25 April 2011 – Teesside Autodrome, Middlesbrough
It was Middlesbrough, so it was windy. But not too much. It was also sunny – another bonus. And it was the Drift Allstars European Series 2011 season opener. And what an opener it was with a truly international lineup featuring competitors from UK, Ireland, Holland, Italy, France and Poland all signed up. (more…)
