[schema type=”recipe” name=”Carlow Christmas Rally Sprint 2013″ description=”High Speed, High Jinks and High winds were the flavour of the day at the annual Carlow Christmas sprint in Mondello, the latter causing mayhem country wide. The event was sold out within days of going live and there was a sizeable reserve list as well, not even Santa could get an entry on the day. In spite of the inclement weather spirits were high in the Paddock, and racing got underway around 10:30am, wind and monsoon conditions prevailed for much of the day making photography tricky, and we have added some of the action to the Gallery. Well done to the Marshals& Carlow crew for standing out in such diabolical weather. Happy Christmas, and the best of luck for 2014. ” ]
