About

Racing tends to kick off at middday on most club days, and ends at around 3 or 4pm.
We provide catering, toilets, and track-side parking.
Down Autograss is Ireland's longest established Autograss Club. The Club was formed in the 80's by Mr Cavan Ferrie who had returned home from England with all
his worldly possesions, one of which was a class 3 Escort! Having been a member of the Shropshire & Telford Club and already hooked on 'Grassing', Cavin set about contacting N.A.S.A. and soon
after, Down Autograss was born! Cavan being the founder member of the club holds the DA1 number and even though he has not raced with us since moving to Denmark, the number is kept for him as part of
the club constitution as we know he will be back again sooner or later. The name comes from the County in which the club was formed although the club has now not had a venue within County Down for
some years now.
The club although small within Autograss terms, has always had a loyal following with some members having joined over 15 years ago still taking an active roll in the club today. The clubs venue is
currently at White Lane, Maghaberry, just off the M1 motorway at the Moira Roundabout turn off, heading for the Airport. The site is an old airfield that the U.S. used during the war and currently
the property of Doreen & Stephen Boyes who have been more than supportive to us since our arrival. With the track having been raced on for the first time at the start of the 2004 season, it was a
bit of an unknown quantity but the surface has proved promising and with the site having ample space, great access and of course a runway for campers to park on in damp conditions, it has the makings
of our best ever venue! Anyone wishing to visit us are welcome on any race day, just check the N.A.S.A. fixture book or web site for forthcoming events.
