A quick update now everyone has had time to rest and the
post run blues have started to ebb away, hopefully leaving fond memories of
shed heroics, stunning Scottish roads bathed in autumnal sunshine, menacing ink
black welsh mountain roads being taken on by Lucas prince of darkness, the
lingering smell of EP90 and the roar of a six pot.
Thank you to all who took part and entered into the true
spirit of the event 50 years on from that first run back in 1966, with any
event there are things to be learnt and the post event meeting process will
start in November please feel free to feedback via the CT forum or email ctrbrr@gmail.com
Personally it was a 10 out of 10 event for me-the event
scoring 10 and it was the 10th run I have completed –the same crew took part in 1996 we have deducted we may
look older but haven’t really grown up-the evidence being Homers ditty driving
into JoG - rhyming JoG with things that
happen to goats etc

So some quick stats-
133 starters
119 finishers
Seems fuel pumps were top of the list for causing problems
this year – my personal preference is to fit electric pump with a pressure
regulator depending on the type of carburettor’s your running (i.e. webers or
SU) and carry a known good mechanical spare and associated pipe work allowing a
quick fit/fix.
The charity total is looking very healthy I am sure we can
bump it up a bit before handing over the cheque in march-apparently 20% of
donations come in after an event
Photos- as you can imagine thanks to the superb weather
there have been some stunning photos taken with lots getting posted via various
social media sites- Dale our hard working and very busy club mag editor has
kindly offered to judge some of the best ones, the “prize” being getting it on
the front cover of a forthcoming copy of “Club Torque” could we ask that any
photo you would like to be judged be posted to the CT forum RBRR 2016 picturefolder – if you don’t have access as you were a non-CT member of the car crew
get you CT member to post it on the CT forum for you !
