Narraghmore Vintage Club Charity Reversing Road Run for Haiti was held on Sunday 7th of March 2010. Around 30 local tractors turned up to reverse around the 4 mile block. It was the first event of its kind and we are applying to have it registered as a new world record. It was a very entertaining event with no incidents reported however there was a lot of very wobbly driving. The video has captured the highlights of the run. Some drivers invented new postures to help ease the strain of looking over your shoulder however others had no choice but to strain their necks. The post refreshments in Molly O'Lonneys got most of the necks stretched back into the normal position fairly quickly. Tommy Broe was the smartest putting on his jacket back to front to keep himself warm. The Cassidy's brought along a few pet ferrets which naturely are the best animals at reversing or walking backwards. .The ladies of the club also joined in the reversing. There was also a separate road run for the ladies which is a first for our club also. There was no shortage of lady drivers and by the looks of things they may be safer drivers too. Sponsorship cards are still coming in and so far we have collected €1300.
