Good to hear your heading over,what part and for how long?
The drift scene is massive in Ireland for the last few years and we got some pretty competitve guys on the Irish/Uk even USA leader board!
But no there isn`t much tracks around but the clubs do get the odd airstrip for a days drag racing.
The main and only real track in Ireland is Mondello park in Kildare (45 mins from Dublin)they host the British Touring car Championship,Porsche Cup and others but the Drift clubs hold some great events there too.
There is another in Tipperary mainly used by the Drift clubs.
Summertime (June-Sept) is pretty happenning on the car scene at home for those events.
Alot of competitors just catch the ferry to the UK were they have alot more events and better tracks and funding for them to race unfortunately.
Ireland is alot like some of your cities here with lots of people into the car moddifying scene with no where to go and are calling for purpose built tracks,dragstrips were they can gather and enjoy the scene without the hassles!
Oh and not a HOLDEN in sight,OPEL is what they call them in Eire,V8?no hope .
