Just walked through the door after 1 of the best weekends ever
The crew at RHR are a credit to our sport, meeting was run like clockwork & the speed the dirt track was covered when a bit of rain came was astonishing
Many thanks to Jimmy, Vicky, James & everyone else involved in putting this meeting on for us, you all rock
Plenty of pics to follow soon

Agree with all the above, superb track, amazing organisation, excellent commentary from muzzy and great entertainment on and off the track, although 2 blokes sticking their bum cheeks together with superglue is one best forgotten lol.

Congratulations to everyone involved, it was a masterpiece

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys - it will be a little while before I get a report up as I was so busy all weekend also filming for a video of the event. But - rest assured the photo gallery will be online soon.

The event I think is easily far and away the best event I've been to or even heard about in the world - please write in to challenge that statement. Neil Cragg absolutely loved it and his dad asked the question why there were not more top racers there - well only they can answer that but at the end of the day its about good racing a nice atmosphere and having a good time at what we all enjoy. Everyone of any ability is welcome to the oOple Invernational. And a special thanks for all the overseas drivers that made the trip over - please spread the word and bring your friends next year!

Huge thanks to everyone for their hard work and support to make this event work. I feel like I only did a little compared to some people but we all have our jobs and I hope I can do a lot more promotion and work myself next year.

Nice to meet lots of new people - I'm always willing to chat to anyone about anything so please get your entry in for next year. It'll be hugely over subscribed again but if you ask anyone who came just for the atmosphere - it's still a great time. I didn't race and loved every minute of it.

What a brilliant weekend
The track is superb, racing was great, & the Saturday night was legendary, (I won't go into details but can't wait for the pics, vids & report)
Congrats to all involved,
The highest praise I can give is that on the way home I asked the kids if they enjoyed it, Greg & Natalie loved it (unsurprisingly), for Lorna (my other Daughter who has no interest in racing) it was her first real weekend away at a race meeting, she said on the way home " even if Greg & Natalie don't get invited back next year I am coming because it was immense!!!!" If she was impressed & had a good time as a none racer, for me that speaks volumes

Thanks to all who had any imput to the running of the weekend, you should all be very proud, best race meeting I can remember

Best meeting I've ever been to in all my years racing.

Amazing track
Amazing facilities
Amazing organisation

Absolutely top notch in every department.

Huge well done and thanks to everyone that was involved in making this happen. Extra special mention has to go to the track builders for realising a lot of people's dreams of racing these buggies on the surface for which they were designed.

I think the mix of drivers was just right, with a handful of world class racers, euro A finalists etc and every level of club and regional racer.

My vote would be to keep it just like that for future events

Watching Neil was a great lesson in how to drive a car, he could hit a 10p piece on the track after the double probably EVERY lap, and watching some of the American racers they would no doubt do the same but 6 feet higher lol
