Thank You !!!!
We would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for coming along to the First Irish Festival of Speed in August 2011. We thank you for putting your hands in your pockets in very hard times, we also thank those of you who travelled great distances; from Denmark, from Wales, from England and of course those of you who didn’t travel so far. We were humbled by the marvellous turnout and we particularly thank you for the thousands of smiles we saw everywhere! A special mention must go to the Limerick Motor Club who ran the best Sprint race you are likely to see in Ireland this year. We were unsure if you really wanted a festival like this in Ireland however your answer was loud and clear! And so we have already begun planning for next year ‘Summer 2013′ – and it will be the similar…but better, bigger and even more fun. Thank you again!
