This note is not meant to be a long one, that said, it probably will be. I’ll make it easy if you’re in a rush – THANK YOU.

Now for the details;

Firstly to all the drivers who got up at some ungodly hour to travel to Cardiff, bet you didn’t know what to expect; even when you entered the venue. Thank you for making that leap of faith to support the Club, some for the first time in South Wales and I really hope you enjoyed the day.

Second to the army (if only small in number) who put so much effort in supporting my original idea to run the event in the first place. Brian Ali, Richard (Ned) Witcombe, Dave Zerk and John Holliman, thank you for all the help in preparation prior to the event. On Saturday in getting the venue ready; again the “small army” were ever present but now supported by Steve Curtis Rich (and the family), Ray Reeve, Dave Zerk Jnr, Ken and Tom Graham. Without you putting in the hours, “it would not have happened”.

Finally on Sunday (race day) and certainly of no lesser importance, those helpers on the day which helped the day run so well; Ian Tomlinson for his dedication behind the desk, “he even asked for my licence” and so he should. To Paul Knight and Trackside Spares for keeping most of us going through the day. WRCA for the supply of the trophies, Hywel Mills and CML Distribution for their support who together with Steve Curtis Rich and his contacts at TEKIN and Paul Knight of Trackside Spares made the raffle such a success. Thanks to Eddie Williams who offered his services as referee for the day and finally (really) to Vanessa and her niece for supplying provisions through the day keeping everyone fed and watered.

We hope this is not the last time we see you all at the venue; if you enjoyed the day please spread the word for our next event and help make that better than the FTX.
