Imokilly Motor Club Loose Surface Autocross
On Sunday January 25th 2009 all roads led to Campbells pit in Clonakilty for our first event of the year which was a loose surface autocross. As round one of the Jerry Murphy Tyres sponsored Munster Autocross Championship a very good entry turned up on the day including a number of new visitors making their first appearance on the loose. The first time run of the day saw Ballincollig's Owen Murphy set the bench mark with a time of 2:37:81. The next closest challenger was teenager Ian Stanley also setting an impressive time of 2:38:36.
The second run saw most of the top runners improve their times including the lads from the Imokilly Motor club, John Dolphin in his special, Emmet Cronin in his Mark 2 and Mogeely's James Fitzgerald in his very nimble Corsa climbing the leader board. As the day progressed into time run 3, the battle between Stanley’s civic and Murphy’s Corolla intensified. But it was young Stanley who once again topped the time sheets with a staggering time of 2:32:50. Murphy stopped the clocks just under two seconds in arrears. With only seconds separated the leading runners, a no-holds barred conclusion was anticipated for the fourth and final run. However, with the surface scrubbed of loose gravel and standing water from the earlier runs and deteriorating weather conditions, this made the job at hand all the more difficult for all competitors.
When the final times were tallied, the overall win went to Ian Stanley in what is fast
becoming his favourite stomping ground. First overall special went to Midleton's John Dolphin. James Fitzgerald took 3rd in class 1 and Emmet Cronin took home the trophy for 2nd in class 2.
Well done to COC Anthony Cronin and all the lads from IMC who came out and helped on the day despite such bad weather.
For our next event, we will be heading to the nearer surroundings of Ballymacoda in early June but instead of gravel, we will be moving on to the grass which should also pose another challenge for all competitors.
