It reminded us (wife and kids) the first time we saw the debauchery of the Hammers' night life and were like WTF?! We've been at it for almost 10 years now and still witness new and crazy shenanigans every time we go out. There is waaaaaay more to this event than the race. In fact, we don't even go for the race, it's not that entertaining compared to everything else there is to do. Hope you guys had fun and will go back next year. Maybe we'll see you there!
