CRAJ Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 2012 was our second RBRR, I have told Dad that the RBRR team will be me, him and a n other, until such time that he says I have had enough now thanks.It got me thinking of Driver's ages, my Dad was 66 last April, he will be well on his way to 69 by the next RBBR in 2014. So do we have any stats on ages of Driver's competeing or having taken part in the past? I know how I feel at the end of the event and I'm a mere 43.Is it time the award for successful older participants was a nice cocoa mug? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Tiredness in old age is not a problem. It is having to get out of the car every 5 miles for a wee.Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hunt Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I will be 67 in three weeks time and can honestly say that I felt just as good at the end of my 19th RBRR as I did after the first as a spring chicken of 29. I don't mind admitting that I had a good ten hours sleep on the Sunday night but tiredness during the actual run wasn't an issue.Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffs2win Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I am 56. I think during the event any lack of sleep was made up for by the continual adrenile rush. Only felt tired after the event when I cam back down to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Moore Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I read somewhere that when Triumph first started developing their new TR2 for rallying, Ken Richardson trialled pee tubes for just this purpose. However testing soon showed that the air pressure under a car is higher than inside it. The scheme was quickly dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
