PeteStupps Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I see in the November magazine that the entries for next year are limited to 125. Think it was 140 last year - anyone know why it's been reduced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferny Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 More likely down to space. You can't fit 140 cars in a control point car park designed for 120. Same goes for stops involving food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The event has never started with more than 125 cars, 2019 was 121 if my memory is correct....😊 As Pete rightly states, JOG and LE cannot cope with more than 125 cars (this roughly equates to 300 people taking part). It is important to remember that everyone who has ever stated a wish to take part has managed to gain an entry place. This goes back to the first RBRR in 1966. Last time, we suffered (if that is the right word) over 40 withdrawals before the event. This leads to an administrative problem and cost for us, so for this RBRR we are going to have to charge a fee to those who withdraw to cover the costs. We are desperately trying to run the event at a financial point where the event makes a slight surplus for the Club. I hope to be able to announce the Entry Cost very soon.

thescrapman Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 There was an RBRR this year? Damn, I missed it, must have been waiting for my entry to go through on the forum... :-) Quoted from timbancroft61- The event has never started with more than 125 cars, 2019 was 121 if my memory is correct....😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
