Well done to all the guys at robin hood raceway (or if your welsh rubing head raceway) Awsome track awsome location. The 2wd was the best track ive ever raced on and loved every minute of it except for when i broke the car twice.

The rain at the end of today didnt really ruin it for me i loved it in the rain the car was good fun to drive. Broke it in my 2wd J finals and won my 4wd L final wwwwooo lol.

Only just got back now at 12:15 after some police camera action style police chance by ellesmere port.

Only thing that ruined it for me was when i was marshalling the C final for Craig Harris so he could get an early dart a driver crashed on the last lap just before the loop and in his impatians just as i grabbed the car by its front wishbones and turned it over the hit the throttle ripping a huge chunk out my nail. The end of my finger is still num.

I think that was probably my favourite meeting of the year. The marquee was such a good idea (and saved us from putting a tent up), i really appreciated that!

Great work guys!!

ps - gotta say two things.....

"Chicken and chips here"

"Do you like chicken?"

Big Robbo "Do you like Chicken"

That has got to be the comedy moment of the year for me, I'm still chuckling to myself 36 hours later!! Pure class!

Quality track. Great meeting. Loved the Bombhole for 4WD but had to laugh when the Ref warned us that there was a marshall with a car in the Bombhole. His accent made it sound slightly different! That must have hurt!

agree with all the comments. Awesome venue and tracks, possibly the best ive been to. Thanks to all that have contributed to the national series, thoroughly enjoyed all of them on my return to racing although a bit frustrating to have narrowly missed out getting F1 roll on next year

Thanks to all for the nice comments, it is much appreciated guys.

RHR has literally taken over my life for nearly the last 10 months (at the expense of the family at times ), but just to see it being used and enjoyed has made it all worthwhile

I must thank once again everyone who has been down to help (i'm not gonna name names, i'll only miss someone), without you guys it would not be finished - i'm actually quite crap at grafting, I'm the ideas man You guys know who you are ans are all heros.

Also big thanks to James (Ralph ) for letting us do it, oh and eventually trusting my judgement and ideas on stuff.

A lot of work has gone into the track - Jimmy has pictures of what we started with. It's mad to look back now on what it was.

If anyone has any more comments, we (the RHR team) would like to hear them - good or bad. If you don't want to post them on here, talk to us when you see us or pm any one of us. We want to develop and improve the entire site to make it even better, and your feedback will help us.

And finally thanks to everyone who has come to the few meetings we've managed to get in this year, we'll try and get it in use a bit more often from now on for those that would like to use it. Without you guys we'd have just spent a lot of time astroturfing one of Ralph's fields!

Thanks again.

G

Nice words on behalf of RHR G.

For my part you and the team have constructed a venue far superior to the previous "Worksop" track.

An all weather venue that could perhaps host an International event in future?

I said a few times at the weekend that I beleive it's as good as any, if not the best, venue in the UK.

It's got it all, from being close to the A1 to having urinals too high for Lion-O to piss in - and all the other stuff in between.
