Jason Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Entry List fixed and updated, don't know why it does that, seems to cut off half the list :-(Never mind, all working now, we are up to 131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Interesting chart showing the age of car versus year built entered in RBRR...shows that 1968-ish to 1972-ish were the golden years for Triumphs?????1974 (height of the oil crisis) looks a bit sad.............

Jason Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 You're right, funny how I always thing of Triumphs as a 60's thing - perhaps that's just because I'm a 60's child and I remember the 70's as a naff brown flared and acne era - or was that just me?

Jason Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 I think it was watching Life on Mars that brought it all back - it was a visually crappy decade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Last time about 20 teams withdrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 20 teams? What were the reasons? If known? is it the cost? I have worked out 4 ton just for petrol!I am still going to prepare, I have a good set of sponsors! who have promised to help.Is there a prize for most sponsored? Oh questions questions.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 People drop out for all sorts of reasons, mostly car preparation issues, some for work commitments, others who enter early without a co-driver find they can't get their mate, wife, mistress, kid to join them. Crews tend to consolidate too and yes people under estimate the cost/commitment - car prep can take it's toll in time and money.There's no prize for the most sponsorship money collected, perhaps we should consider one?

Goody Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Even though I played a small part I think the Team (car 74) of Ashley Mills, Peter Wenzel and myself had to be the top money collector or quite close! in 06. I know Ash goes all out to get sponsers, he really beats them bush'ies. I know my new team will do all they can this time. A prize for the winner is a good idea. Even if its only a certificate of appreaceation. Or maby even team's contest as we are car #5 of the Birmingham Posie! I have a donation comming from my local Triumph club here "Capital Triumph Register" Again I will have our small window stickers to give out to any who might want one. Please ask if you want one.

Tim Bancroft Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I do not feel the need to have a formal competition and award for the entrants that gain the most sponsorship. Surely the Charity is motivation enough. Also to be honest we and my fellow organisers have enough RBRR work to do, at pres. I am well behind.Should'nt this topic be on the Charity section of the RBRR part of the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
