Hi guys, just recently found out that the Goldstone track in kilkenny has an offer of 5 track days for 100e and 10 track days for just 150e!!
I tink it was a christmas offer but i went down last sunday and had no trouble getting the 10 day offer.
For those of you unfamiliar with goldstone its fairly basic with just a figure 8 track, that said the track itself is quite wide and is an ideal place for any1 learning to drift or just looking for a fun day out in the 5.
Have a no. ere for the owner John, real sound fella btw, 087 8102822.
Just said i'd release de knowledge out there anyway, hope sum1 has a few gud days out!!

good spot alryt. me and a few mates were on about booking it sum day.

Been down there couple times small track but looks good fun does anyone know when the offer is ending

Figure eight?? I'm assuming there's a bridge involved..could be VERY exciting otherwise!!

Was there a few weeks ago with friend and qas ragin in didn bring my drift car cool lil track

Ya its a gud spot alrite for a bit o sunday driftin
I dropped him a line der and he said dat its only runnin for anodr short while so if ppl wer interested we'd b able ta sort sumtin out if we wer sharpish??
No brigde leamyyj, u don't actually cross ovr at de intersection, its more like going round an oval sum1 pinched in de middle if dat makes sense?!

Heres a little taster from last weekend...

oh i would be able to make it for this weekend anyway be about a month before i get it out

yea sure ill drop you a pm when i have it out we meet up i do go to thurles for a spin some weekends to have a look about

Headin goldstone dis sunday if any1 is intetested in cumin along for de craic?! Ground shud b nice nd damp so no tire wear

Went up there on sunday to have a look. John told me to go out and have a go for a few laps on the house.
Good crac but with the dry weather and semi slick rear tyres all i got was tyre squeel and very little sideways action.
Would be deadly in the wetor with budget less grippy tyres on the back.
Good setup there. Plenty of room in the carpark for a good get together if anyones up for it.

goldstone is a great little spot for amyone to learn to drift, ive seen everything from sierras to lorries (i kid you not) drift round it. here a video of the place.

yea i would mind a meet up down there for say a months time or that will have the car out tax and nct'd it doesn't look as daunting as mondello for first time drifter would be good fun. I've been down there once couple years back but can't remember where the place is for the life of me.

how much would we be talking to use it ?

I did my first drift day a few weeks ago in mondello was nervous before i got out on track but that went away quiclky. Goldstone wouldnt be a bad place the only thing i would be worried about is if it was dry carrying enough speed amd so little run off
