Thanks!

It was, quite simply fantastic

Every single bit of it - thanks to david, si, ian, keefy, tash, the utterly helpful lady with tash in the sign on booth, erm, the chap who sheltered in the sentry box on saturday night with dave, si and me, the SUPER helpful and friendly security blokes, the guy in the purple shirt (track owner?) And the guys with the jamaican food stall witb the awesome burgers

Everybody who donated tat, and everyone who bid, if you missed it we nailed 1300 quid, which is frankly amazing

And thanks to everyone who turned up and made the show

Same again next year?

Although, david, if you can make it not clash with the green man festival, so I don't get in trouble next year, that'd be great!

It was superb. That's all there is too it really.

Excellent organisation, security was a far superior team to last year, toilets were pretty good for a campsite too tbf.

The paddock and hillclimb organisation was very slick, so massive thanks to bstardchild and team for that, although I couldn't understand why the cars that were running the hill were made to queue all the way around to the main entrance instead of using the service road which we used last year?!?!
(I made myself look a bit of a cock when I drove past the queue to get to the service road, only to be told we weren't using that and had to reverse back!)

First time I've done the Friday through to Sunday. Frankly, I can't see any other way to do it now!

Just a shame it washed out on the Afternoon and I was stuck on the campsite waiting for the RAC, so couldn't even mooch about in the rain

Thanks Ian and crew as well - first time I've done the hill and didn't feel lost as to what I was doing throughout. Had hell of a laugh.

The Marshall's were nice guys too, I've been to some track/drag events and they've come across as very strict whereas it seemed at RRG everyone respected them and were sensible enough and got it back in return.

Now to do more work to the car, more power and try get onto the hill next year with even more confidence.

A big thanks from me for making another memorable show

Campsite was fantastic, all staff (security and RR) were fantastic, show was fantastic, weather was less than fantastic on the day but Friday/Saturday were fantastic!

And most of all the people were fantastic, great to bump into old friends, make new friends and have random chats with all manner of strangers!

All in all it was fantastic

Already can't wait for RRG'16

I can only echo what everyone else has said - a great time had by myself and fellow RR'ers!

Typically for me i built myself up to it all year, enjoy it, then am on a downer afterwards (still am) that it's all over for another year.
Granted the weather wasn't great, but at least it was warm all weekend; I recall last year after nightfall it got pretty chilly, so it was a bonus to still be sitting around in shorts at midnight.
(And to be fair, i don't think anyone could have predicted 'that' storm on Saturday night, particularly with a mini twister coming down two fields away...!)

The security was much improved over last year (although I didn't have any issues with them previously, they did seem much more friendly this year), and although we didn't get bin bags on entry, we still managed to clear everything away into a (huge) bag we bought or firewood in, which got towed to the skip on Sunday.

The cars were awesome as usual, and it is still the friendliest event I know. Next year I really must make more of an effort to get around the show field and speak to folk; i always end up being too introvert with people i don't know (and yet probably chat with regularly on here!).

Thinking back it was a right laugh all weekend, and thanks to Nomad for selling me the scooter- i did have a little ride down the hill climb on the Saturday, and i confirm the brakes do need a little adjustment   Still, I made it down in one piece, and it also helped me to scoot back to the campsite to get our sofa's under the tarp before the storm came...

Also, apologies to anyone who was stood in my vicinity at the Tat Auction - I was the chump who was unable to stand up straight...and not because I was drunk either, just couldn't keep my balance!  I blame the scooter ride earlier in the day...

So lessons for me for next year?

1. Bring a tent with vents in, as i was cooking in my huge but old canvas tent.
2. Breakfast wraps - bought instead of baps for Sunday morning - fit more in with less bread. Brilliant.
3. Meet more people.
4. Take more photo's.
5. Get up early enough on Sunday to avoid the queue when driving to the show field.
7. Not throw plastic wrapping on the firepit - it melts, and when removed (and flung carelessly) it sticks to skin and can hurt apparently (sorry again LowStandards!)


So - here's to next year; roll on RRG16
