Millstreet is still reeling from the hectic weekend. The Cork 20 International Rally 2013 excelled all expectations. The organisers attended to detail in every aspect of the weekend. And by the time the opening ramp was placed in the town Square on Friday evenin, you’d be forgiven for thinking that you were in Montecarlo. Crowds lined the streets and the pipe band played as never before and were first over the ramp to the cheers and joy of all present. Then it was time for the real thing and the revving, roaring speed machines came up to the line where they were introduced one by one. Made an earsplitting exit and went down the town at the speed of lightening. Following that the game was on and For the next two days our designated roads were black with spectators trying to get a good view from any safe vantage point. The Green Glens was a mecca of activity as  an outdoor Service Station, while indoors the Rally Festival had something to offer both the young and the not so young.
