 So then time to talk motorsports here on Highland and it's a double weekend, a bumper weekend of action to discuss. Joining me is Killian Duffy from On The Paste Note. Killian, it's good to see you. Good to see you too, Washington. Good to be back at us. Yeah, good to be back. It's been a long time. That's for sure. Well, that's a return on this weekend. Bushwacker on Saturday, Cork on Sunday. Maybe we'll touch on the Bushwacker briefly. It's based out of Oma and there's been a lot of anticipation and excitement about this one. So there hasn't there's a great entry list for it as well. Killian. Yeah, it's a great entry list for it. It was over 100 entries, I think, in about an hour for it. The Bushwacker, I've always done notes for it and it hasn't been ran in two years, but certainly the two-year break has helped the forest. They're an absolutely fantastic shape, condition-wise for the crews. Leading away is Kevin McCourt. He was the previous winner of the event. It'd be very familiar stages, although they've mixed it up. There's a good bit of tarmac in the event this year on the third stage, some long sections of tarmac. So that'll be making it interesting, particularly on gravel tires. But again, a lot of the people are familiar with the gravel parts of the stages. Pick a winner, be tricky enough. I'd say Khan McCourt has to be favored. Patrick O'Brien then is in his evil. Now, unless he appears in an R5, I know Gary Jennings is out as well. Also Vivian Hamill was out last week in Galloway Hills. Jason Mitchell knew to rally, and he won't be far away. Martina Samsonas as well from Lithuania is out doing the event. He's down in a lancer. I can't see any of the group-end sort of traditional cars matching or beating the R5 cars, even though it is a very fast event. They won't be far away. But I would say it'll be hard to look past Khan McCourt, Vivian Hamill, James Wilson even. He's done a couple of events this year. So yeah, it'll be an interesting event. Donnie Gullman obviously involved Paddy Robinson sitting with Derek McGearty. Joseph McGonigal has Mark McGehan on board in the R5 Fiesta. We can't forget about the county Trollman, Frank Kelly and his daughter Lauren Kelly. They're sitting in seated 33 for this one. But a lot of Tarong people are expecting big stuff from Mr Kelly at the weekend, Kelly. Yeah, again, he won't have it all his own way. David Crossen is showing massive speed across the water in the few events he's done. Paul Barrett, okay, he's in a historic spec car. Frank Kelly, Adrian Hedrington is in a historic car. Shane McGeart, I mean, pick a winner there. It's not easy at all. But definitely, David Crossen has been sitting at a great pace this year. So Frank is going to have it all to do to beat him. Gary Jennings is doing the Bushwacker on Saturday. He was in the entry list for Cork himself in Rory Kennedy, but that's not happening now on Sunday. But Cork 20 is back. Yes, it's a single day. They were just at nine stages, obviously, under the current COVID umbrella that we have killing and a lot of restrictions involved. But from our point of view up here, as the crews go to almost the furthest point of the country, Donna Kelly and Declan Boyle, same sort of machinery, and will they be fighting it out at the head of the field while they kill him? Hard to say, to be honest with you. It'll be like, how is the break affected people? I mean, Donna hasn't been out, I don't think since COVID. I'm sure he is a decent test on. Declan Boyle hasn't been out since Donegal 19. Again, he's in a new car. Like I would say top five or six, definitely, for both them picking a winner again, I would say Murray Evans could be the dark horse for it. He just had a win in a three-shires tournament event in the UK there a couple of weeks ago. Like he's the most match fit along with Callum Devine. Callum Devine, as well, is going to go well. He's fourth on the road. But again, he's been match fit. He's been doing a lot in Europe. His confidence is going to be up. And yeah, it'll be a good race. But again, you know, you have the moffits. You have such a fantastic entry there. But I would say Murray and Evans could be just get the jump at the start. And it might be just to him or Callum Devine. And I would say it'll be hard to stay with them. What kind of stages are these crews going to expect on Sunday and Cork as a traditional Cork 20 event stages? Yeah, well, like I suppose traditional ones, people think of is around McCroom area. Whereas this year, it's around Firmoy, Rath Cormack. And they're very fast stages and very flown bar section of the second one in the middle. That's a bit tricky and tight narrow. Generally, the rest is nice, fast, sort of smooth, flown roads. And so it'll be interesting the times that the modifies put in as well. And like this, what a what a modified lineup there is. Yeah, we were expecting Brian Brogan and Demi McGeregan to be out in a modified escort and fighting it out at the head of the national, but quite a number of crews have new machinery. Brogan is among one of them. He's going to go on a two liter turbo Skoda Fabia, while Aiden Ray, who we know, of course, was heavily involved in the Group N cars all down through the years in the Mitsubishi. Now he's got himself a Ford Fiesta R5. He has, yeah. And actually, Aiden was out in Argyll there at Tarmac event about six or seven weeks ago in Scotland. And he had a good run there. So he's going to be confident as well. Starting again, the left hand drive, it'll take some learning, I would say, still probably with his confidence. Brian Brogan's an interesting one. All right. And the Fabia, it'll be interesting to see that car, how it handles. I mean, the Fabia, I presume it's a Super 2000 model, good handling car, particularly on medium speed corners. So it'll be interesting to see how it goes with this turbo engine in it. Yeah, that's right hand drive from as well. There's less learning. I think it's hard to get used to the left hand drive at a certain point in your career. Yeah. So who do you think is going to be there about to come to the national at the end of the day on Sunday? Gary Kernan is there. He's going to be quick. James Stafford, he doesn't seem to ever take time to get going after a long break. He just seems to be on the pace straight away. Damien Toner was out and locked all. It's hard to say. I would say, to be honest with you, probably, I would say Gary Kernan now will be, it'll be hard to live with. I mean, Chris Armstrong's there as well, but Chris hasn't been out since his big accident in Killarney a couple of years ago. So it'll be, I would say it'll be between Kernan, Stafford and Toner. Okay. And you can, of course, follow both events over the weekend with yourself. Kelly, you've got a busy one ahead of you. Yeah. If people go onto the Facebook page on the pace note, we're covering live feeds from the Bushwacker and also then Cork 20. So we haven't had a stage rally in since May of 2020. So really, I'll come forward to get back to traditional stage ends and hopefully people can tune in and follow the coverage. Yeah. Just finally then, you're on the road to Donegal today as I'm talking to you. Yes, up to do the harvest notes today. So just on the way up here, it's two stages with a shakedown on the Saturday around Donegal Town. Looking forward to seeing these stages. They're never easy around Donegal Town. So I'm expecting a bit of a day's work ahead of me. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's enjoy your time and Donegal will be speaking to you in the coming weeks again, Kelly. And thanks for joining us. Thanks, Oshin.
