Tim Bancroft Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 RBRR entry now at 82 no. This is a record for this longstanding Triumph event.Anyone any thoughts why after running the event for 40 years, we should now receive a record entry list?

spitty71 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Put mine in the post today, so fingers crossed i'll make the list!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 rbrr probably filled up quick because a good few of us newer members have entered which means that the regulars have also had to be quick to get a place and there will probably be some disapointed people this yr . depends on how many drop out. if it happens again everyone should be allowed to enter. all roads we use on run should be closed to public untill we have finished lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volospian Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Are there still places open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val1300 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I believe it goes up to 90 then there will be a reserve list. Better get in there quick matey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumpith Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Just asking out of pure interested (as I'm safely entered as car #4), but why 90? Just seems an odd figure (not literally, obviously, as 90 is even!)I think if any spaces become available due to cancellation, etc, we should AUCTION THEM in aid of Bliss...

Tim Bancroft Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 90 is the reckoned limit of car space at the start and all that the two brekkie stops(JOG & LE) can cope with. Very conscious to keep the number of entrants controllable, for years this event ran at 40-50, and the vibe/camaraderie was great, maybe having too many will destroy this important aspect?

val1300 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 No, I don't think so Tim. Last time I did the event there where around 75ish cars taking part and the vibe and camaraderie was superb. You could still go hours without seeing anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Also of course the organisational work goes up and the chance of 'incidents' increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 What you need is that 2.5 pi pick up that did the run a few years ago add a frost crane for pick up and recovery of any pranged motors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Do remember that we operate a reserve list, the members on this will be slotted in when spaces become available. Entrants will withdraw- reckoning on at about 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Please see attached. Now at 86 entrants.Reserves will be slotted in on a 'First come, first served basis'.Still reeling from all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Now at 87, GT6 John's entry was delivered late.Interesting stats so far:19 Big saloons entered (5 Mk1, 14 Mk2)17 Spits (6 Round tail,11 Squares)10 Dolomites(4 1500,6 Sprints)8 GT6 (3 Mk1,3 Mk2,2 Mk3)7 Vitesse(3 1600, 2 Mk1, 2 Mk2)6 Heralds(3 1200, 3 13/60)5 TR7(3 2.0, 2 V8)5 TR64TR4 (2 A, 2 4A)3 Stag (1 Del LInes Stag Saloon)2 Acclaim1 Toledo18 Entrants have owned their cars over 10 years, rather puts the lie to the wrongly perceived thought that entrants do not care for their cars and that none are in good condition. many of the cars will be worked on during the coming summer and will be in great condition. I think that many of the cars taking part are amongst the best that the club has amongst its membership. Tim Hunt's TR4A and Michael Lineham's GT6 Mk1 have each been been owned by them for 35 years and are in great condition.The 3 cars that are on the CT stand on Sunday at Stoneleigh are entered in the RBRR, all 3 are easily good enough to be considered for the show and all 3 are actively used for driving events.The best thing about the RBRR is that it shows how wrong the Classic Car movement has gone, events should be about using the cars, not standing in a field being admired. Cannot be many motoring events that are 40 years old and attract so many entrants that the entry is nearly full 6 months before the start date!

val1300 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Totally agree Tim. I can manage two, maybe three shows a year and that will be my lot.The thought of doing weekend after weekend of setting up,sitting down in a field and watch people look at your car all day and ask the same dumb questions.Then having to pack it all up ready for next weekend.....Arrrggghhhh......GET A LIFE !!!

Tim Bancroft Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Picked up 3 entries at Stoneleigh, 2 confirmed to bring it the entry up to 90 and 1 for the reserve list.As I have mentioned we operate a reserve list on a first come first served list.

Toledo Man Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I only found out when I spoke to Steve Waddingham.Ashley, I noticed that you need a co-driver (well Claire pointed it out to me - she's given you a good character reference!) so I'll return the compliment and offer to be your co-driver as I know my way round Acclaims. I'll e-mail you when I get home. (I'm posting from Anita's PC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
