Thinking about going mid practice week staying for the races then going to see some of Ireland.

Rick Bretl of AMA fame just went over there as a crew chief. He would be a good resource.

 

Fly into Belfast. It’s less than an hour away.

Stay in Portstewart for the closest access to paddock, nightlife, and racing overall.

Bring warm clothes and a rain jacket...and shorts and t-shirt

Start booking your place now...places to stay in that area fill up quickly

 

I'm flattered. When do we leave?

 

If you fly into Belfast, you'll likely have to transfer thru Heathrow from USA.... which blows.

Id' direct flight USA to Dublin, rent your car and drive West towards Galway, then up the West Coast thru Donegal to Portstewart/Portrush.
See the races, then take the coast road over to Giant's Causeway, down to Joey's Bar, Belfast, Newcastle and then shoot back Dublin Airport for your flight home.

 

Thanks, good info.

 

If you do happen to stop in Newcastle, hit me up...I'm from there and I'll get ya sorted with B&B/hotel my cousin owns.

 

That would be awesome, local b&b’s are great.
