[cameron]

Right after a bit of a balls up on my behalf :sorry: Sorry Guys

It seems the general concencious is that we attend the RWYB DAY @ YORK RACEWAY on SAT 4th JULY 09.

This is the linky for them.......http://www.york-raceway.co.uk/aboutus.html

I'll get in touch with them tomorrow and see how we go about things.

Any info you guys need just ask, and i'll approach them on your behalf.

Add your name below if interested.

Cheers guys.

I've dragged myself along to both Santa Pod and Shakespear Raceway, on many occasions. So as they say "A change is as good as a rest" and it would be fun to try a new venue. Assuming I am in the country I would love to come and give the girl a run out! (If you will have me?). Anything under 15 seconds - with my appalling talent and I'll be happy.

Does anyone own a decent video camera?

[Enigma666]

Assuming my C70 hasn't decided to let every bit of her break in quick succession I'm in for that :)

Hi Dave,

Frogster on the VOC was at the RR Day on saturday, he was taking video of the meet and he will be selling DVD's.

So hopefully he will be coming along as well.

I'll let you know what York Raceway say, they have a special phone number to call if we want to attend as a group :D

Cheers Guys

Lee

[cameron]

Ok then........

After a lengthy conversation with the organisers @ York Raceway i have the following info..........

If we went as a group ( we dont all have to show at the same time ) we get our own cordoned off area to showcase our cars. It doesnt matter if we go as 5 cars or 30 cars its the same.

We get a guarenteed 3 runs up the strip, but if we attend early and stay late we will get a lot more runs in. :B_thumb:

If we dont get the guarenteed 3 runs we get our money back.

As a group we get a 10% discount, so 1 car in every 10 goes free ( No fighting over the spaces please, names would be drawn out a hat if there was loads of us )

We get the print outs for 1/8th et, 1/8th mph, 1/4 et, 1/4 mph, 60ft, and reaction times. ( et = Exact Time )

York Raceway has 0-60 timing equipment integrated with the original TSI Drag Racing timing computer which provide accurate and precise 0-60 times along with the traditional drag times. In the right hand lane only !

We also get our own alloted time on the strip, we only race each other, not 600bhp porsches and the like.

We get to see every other event, all showcase areas and demo's.

Prices are £10 admission per person + £30 per car, so if you went with another person in your car it would be £50 ( £30 for the car and 2 x £10 )

Any more questions just ask

Cheers guys

Lee

[Enigma666]

You are officially the man Lee :)
Shame about the 600hp Porkas though, I wouldn't mind a little go at one of them (yeah right) lol

[straight5]

Count me in. Can't miss this, right on my doorstep. Let me know what you need from us and when.

[straight5]

Can we bring mates with non volvos? I know a Golf GTi and an Audi A3T that would be interested.

[cameron]

Eh leave that one with me.

I dont see why not.

Any objections lads ?


Cheers

Lee

[Wobbly Dave]

Count me in. Can't miss this, right on my doorstep. Let me know what you need from us and when.
You'll be invite us all round for the tea then? LOL

[t5 pete]

Yep im up for it and i know my mate with the cossy would be

[cameron]

:Copied from post on T5D5:

Fair point Mrs T !

After another lenghty call to Steve, Father of Father and son Duo Steve and Jason, He informed that we DO NOT need a Race licence.

He also informed that after the first 10 cars the " Organiser " that would be me, gets their car in for Free.

So the first free place is taken as of now. the next free place would be after we get car 22, then 33 if it gets that far. The descision would be by way of lucky dip system ( all names in a hat, first one out goes free )

I have emailed Steve with the info that he requested, i.e. that a large number of Volvo's will be attending on the Sat 4Th of July and that there will be 1 or maybe 2 more cars to get in for free depending on numbers.

Thanks Mrs T for the very relavent point.

The more info we have the better equipped we are on the day.

Cheers

Lee

[cameron]

Forgot to mention......

The quickest car down the strip from our group on the day gets presented with a Trophy supplied by York Raceway :D

Cheers

Lee

[Loadsamiles]

Blimey....

Didn't take long to get ourselves a "convoy"

Somewhat more impressive than the lame start to the RR thread.

I'm looking forwards to it already.

Too rite hopefully we can have a even bigger turn out and show everyone at york what there missing out on (flat cap, pipe, slippers etc) lol

[nathT5]

count me in lee and thanks again for hopefully sorting another awesome day out,
this idea sounds much better than the RWYB as we will have our own event on the programme.
i,m aiming to do every round of the 2NZ-modders meetings at york this year anyway.

i,ll get some practice in :haha:

[t5 pete]

Hi lee if theres anything i can do give me a shout and i will be happy to help also how about the idea of the deposit period of the 1st of my to the 1st of june this way if we let people know they can save up and we can get all the deposits

[straight5]

On the free places I reckon, quite rightly that Cameron claims that for doing all the work and having the initiative. Then how about everyone else pays and if there is any other cash left over due to free places we put it to a prize for the quickest. Or maybe to be fair to the various abilities of the cars, some kind of spirit of the day award.

i was intending on cheacking the timing today but after plastering a wall at my dads i couldnt be bothered so just fitted the front splitter and poly bushed the lower tie bar

[cameron]

Not sure Paul, should we keep it just Volvo's or allow lesser cars to accompany us ?

Any ideas guys ?

We already have 15 with more to come hopefully.

Lee

[cameron]

I've mentioned it to Sean (300ZX) and he is interested, but at the moment he is on the case of his missing 100bhp! :P

[cameron]

lee am i rite is it to do with planes??????

Reconnaisance is what they used to do and probably still do in the forces to observe the enemy normaly known as "charlie" without them knowing about it :)

I'll have to use leymans terms next time pete :rotfl:

Lee

[flyingbrick]

I'm up for this too :)

Any problems if my mates bring their cars along too (300ZX possibly the Fiesta)

I want to race that fiesta....:sheep:LOL

[cameron]

Has anybody got any objections to NON VOLVO'S coming along ?

I dont as long as im not up against that 300zx with 538lb ft of torque :jaw:

Cheers

Lee

[flyingbrick]

He can race the Fiesta.

We should welcome as many as possible......

[cameron]

I dont mind as long as its predominately Volvo's :)

We are after all booked in as the VPCUK ;)

This thread is also on T5D5 and the VOC so im hoping for another biggy, maybe even bigger than saturday, something like 40+ cars would be brill.

Lee

[nathT5]

Lee

sorry, but i think it should be volvos only IMHO.
if we are having our own slot in the event people expect to only see volvos.
and if the other days events are busy we might have limited places anyway.

anyone else could still run in the RWYB sessions.

[nathT5]

Reconnisance, go and have a look :B_thumb:

They have meets all year, so would be good to go and see what would be happening on the day.



Lee

hopefully i should be racing there at the first meeting of the year on easter monday (april 13th)
i could do with some support and it will give you an idea of what goes on.

[Volvostorm]

[T5 ROB]

Hi, I know i'm new but could you put my name down please, i'll definitely be there.

Cheers, Rob

[cameron]

Will do Rob :B_thumb:

Lee

[cameron]

Looks like its Volvo's Only!

Sorry paul :sorry:

Lee

[straight5]

Looks like its Volvo's Only!

Sorry paul :sorry:

Lee

Its a shame, but not a disaster. We could have maybe made sure the non volvos only raced each other, plus their money could have gone into the pot. Still I have a few mates who might be interested to book themselves anyway so there is no reason for the friends of the vpcuk members to miss out on the party.

On the matter of the actual racing, I have a few questions. Do we need crash helmets? I would also welcome a meet up there at a prior event. I am still new to volvo ownership and don't know whether everything is as it should be or not. For example a relevant point is I cant tell if the biting point on my clutch feels right when moving off. I would appreciate someone else with similar car who can tell me.

[straight5]

Yeah Pete the 4th is penciled in by the officials at York. Im in no hurry for deposits yet mate, end of May sounds good :B_thumb:

As per my previous post count me in, as I havent got to meet anyone yet. Let me know when you know.

[yorkshire R]

i think im away in ireland that weekend at a wedding but if not ill be there, will let you know we will have to meet up paul as were only 15 miles away from eachother!

[cameron]

York Raceway have Helmets we can borrow.

I have my own from when i had my motorbike :)

Kawasaki ZXR400, Pretty quick, but not as safe as id like to be.

Sticking to cars now :B_thumb:

Lee

[Volvostorm]

Looks like its Volvo's Only!

Sorry paul :sorry:

Lee

I ain't worried! :P

Hope you have put me down?

[wegal]

Lee, can you add me to the list, only Im not 100 % sure I can make the date at the moment, would love to come but depends a bit on wether I have my daughter that weekend or not.

[nathT5]

yes helmets can be hired but i,d rather have my own, mine only cost £45 from a bike shop.
as for testing, your better off trying it on the road somewhere.

the marshalls will tell you what to do but heres what happens,

be there early as there will be a hundred cars or more trying to get in.
on the way in someone will scrutineer your car, mainly checking for leaks and loose items.
you,ll be queued up in 2 (fire-up) lanes.
when "called up" to the lights theres a pad to either "burn-out" or try a launch.
then you pull up to the lights and watch the "christmas tree" like a hawk.
the white double lights on your side will light when you pull up to "pre-stage" and "stage."
at some places the lights count down but at york its just an amber light when both cars are "staged."
it goes amber then green but if you go on green your too slow.

its not complicated but you,ll be having a massive adrenilin rush, then its all over in 14 seconds (hopefully)

[Loadsamiles]

I'd recommend using an open faced helmet in a car equipped with drivers airbag.

The airbag hitting the chin of a full faced helmet can seriously damage your neck.

[nathT5]

i use a full-face as i dont fancy my glasses inbedding in my face.
also, theres something seriously wrong if you stuff a FWD on a 1/4 mile strip.

check out this site for some awesome york drag racing pics :D
http://richardsmith.fotopic.net/

[cameron]

What the hells in the Bugs to get the front end in the air like that :jaw:

MINT but no Volvo's :(

Nath i too have a full face helmet, im the same a you with the greory pecks ;)

Lee

[nathT5]

you really dont want to pull up next to these :shockedbi

[cameron]

I ain't worried! :P

Hope you have put me down?

Course i have you NUT !!!!!!!

I know you'd travel the length of the country for a meet :D

Lee

Wegal your added also matey :B_thumb:

[cameron]

I Reckon i could have that pug off the line Nath :hidesbehi

LOL

Lee

[straight5]

All credit to Nath, thats some really useful info.
Not sure i want to touch another man's helmet...hee hee.
Or have it full face...haha

In the unlikely event of a prang of some kind, what do people with road cars tend to do for their insurance. Do they tow it down the road and then claim they lost it there? Might have to tell my missus Im only going to spectate. hehe
She knows Im a maniac, even if I try to tell her its just going in a straight line.

If anyone wants to meet there for a looky looky at a Spring meet I may well be up for that. I only joined in December and have yet to meet anyone or see their cars: so I am looking forward to putting faces to names.

thats right, no form of motorsport is covered by your insurance or AA/RAC membership.
if it brakes just get someone to tow you a few miles away and ring from there.
(just make sure you mop up the oil trail and chuck the pistons under the car) LOL
this sort of thing has gone on for years at the drags.
but ive never heard of people claiming on their insurance though, that would be fraud.

heres a couple of pics i took a few years back at donington.
i,m not sure how he,d have told his insurance his car was covered in pit-wall paint...

[nathT5]

has this drag meet developed any further?
or shall we just talk to the organisers on easter monday when i should be racing there anyway?

[cameron]

Hi nath im just waiting on the guys at York sending me some flyers and some other info.

I sent them an email telling them to expect 20 + Ovlovs on the 4th of july :B_thumb:

[cameron]

Anybody ?

Come on guys times cant be that hard :confused:

After all the hard work with the awesome meet, in more ways than one it would be great for us to have a meet at a BIG event.

A good show of Volvo's would be brill and hopefully some decent times down the strip as well :B_thumb:

[Tomcat]

Soz Lee but with my current situation it's not looking likely that I'll be coming, if I do however it'll just be to spectate.

[cameron]

No worries Craig, you could even take my free place if it helps you out :D

Then again it looks like my employment is looking a bit unstable at the moment :(

The proper boss has come back from Pakistan and its not looking too good :mad111:

[Tomcat]

Oh that's grim Lee, hope they don't give you the shove mate, you waited long enough to get this job.

[cameron]

I know mate :mad111:

He's being a d*ck with me, and wont let me change my days even when my Mrs has to go to the ozzy :(

[smithy]

hello mate sorry to here about your employment status hope it improves i will be sending my 10 pounds postel order to you tomorrow so you should have it by thursday i hope this is ok

[cameron]

Cheers Smithy

Im not too worried about the job really it was just a stop gap till i found something full time :D

Once i do find something full time i'll be oota there :rice:

I'll be there with bells on matey, no danger in that.

I'll keep a look out form the posty :B_thumb:

Excellent... It'll be a fair fight then...

[Wobbly Dave]

Hey Wayne - seeing you and RandomGuy will be just like old times. My talent still doesnt increase with age.

August 2005 - I remember it well

http://www.bigredvolvos.co.uk/images/Bruntingthorpe_Aug05/C70_left_with_Judge.jpg

And for those that don't know that was my black C70 "Felicity" - a few months before I binned her into a field.

[JUDGENINJA]

aaahh those were the good old days..... My talent isn't any better either!!

One small change I'll probably be in my T4... The 850 is nowhere near ready.

Randomguy's confirmed he'd like to come, but his login has stopped working. Need to chexk with the greatman Justin to see if the issue is with the site or just him..

I believe that Justin is away in sunny Spain at this time. Maybe the Mopster can advise.

I dont think I have seen RandomGuy since our rendez-vous in some Yorkshire car park and even that is going back a bit.

[JUDGENINJA]

No worries, it can wait.... it's not as if he posts here that much. He is more of a reader than poster.

Randomguy's Deposit has been paid.... add one extra to the list

[Mrsmopp]

I just checked and cant see any reason why he cant get in!! Judge you haven't even told us you have bought a T4 how rude!! lol

[JUDGENINJA]

I know, I never have a camera to hand to take some decent pics.... You'll just have to venture out to a meet soon and I'll show it to you..... (that car that is)

[Mrsmopp]

should be good.........as my car is running alot healthier....

back at the manchester rr day, my downpipe was loose from turbo end, and my turbo was bit ££££ed.....which i was bit annoyed with......but still got an ok figure.

had a few more tweaks since, including fully refurbed and balanced turbo, me7 manifold, both ported by Mr Tim Williams. And the downpipe is as tight as ever.

the whistle always brings a smile to my face........:B_steerin

[rimmer100]

hey up Lee, deposit just sent via paypal.

Cheers

Mark

[After_Shock]

Just spotted the thread, will see if can get the day off work on Monday and hopefully come along!

[straight5]

Hi Cameron,
Really sorry to pull out, but work commitments now prevent me getting there. Im pretty gutted, especially as its on my doorstep. Really very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

[850 t5 vs 600cc]

come on guys and girls if i can get a deposit in and i have 6 kids and 2 exs and a headace then im sure somemore could do it lol

""I'm making the trip down from Edinburgh for the day, so no 'too far for me' excuses either please! ""



I know i know but when i don't have a job and a car which has just failed the MOT and a clutch that would rather not be abused too much then having to drive home, only about 300 mile round trip. There's too many things to cover with £60 a week. If i put some Volvo 850 stickers on my Triumph 600tt then i could use that as a replacement for my T5. At least i would have more chance to win the fastest time as the bike manual does state that the 1/4 mile is 11.2 seconds. ;)

[cameron]

[GaryH]

Well done for organising this,and good luck to all who attend...it's a great venue and promises to be a fantastic event!

I'd love to be able to join you but we're already committed to another car show on that day (our local town gala),so hopefully there'll be another opportunity to test my V70 on the drag strip in the future.

Have a great day guys,and remember to take plenty of pics!

All the best,

Gary.

[cameron]

Cheers Gary :D

Shame you couldnt attend, im hoping there will be someone there with a decent digi camera that will take loads of piccys.

My mobile has a 5mp camera its not too bad but it has limited memory :(

On a bit of a bad note, when i started to arrange this event the organisers said that 1 in every 11 get a free place. I took this to mean the entry fee and the RWYB fee, eh no its just the entry to the venue :(

So im gonna have to find another £30 or i'll just be a spectator, after all my efforts i aint spectating, ye get me! :mad:

[Jamest5r]

i'll put a couple of quid in a pot for you, if everyone else does your sorted! i understand life without work mate, plus without your effort this meet woulnt of happened,also i got a digi camrea and camcorder but no good with computers!

[smithy]

i'll put a couple of quid in a pot for you, if everyone else does your sorted! i understand life without work mate, plus without your effort this meet woulnt of happened,also i got a digi camrea and camcorder but no good with computers!

im up for putting a couple of quid in the pot too no probs

[cameron]

Guys cheers for the offer but i dont want people thinking im a charity case ;)

[Jamest5r]

Guys cheers for the offer but i dont want people thinking im a charity case ;)

Mate, did not mean that in any bad way at all, but for all the time, effort, cost of phone bills xtra a couple of quid commission is ok.

[cameron]

No ofence taken matey, if you guys want to help me out then fair play thats your choice.

But I will be doing everything in my power to make sure i dont have to accept your money ;)

Besides im pissed at the guys at York, they didnt explain it too me clearly enough, they said for every 10 paying members running that there would be 1 free person ( the 11th person ) but they meant the gate fee not the RWYB fee :mad:

[Jamest5r]

Concidering your bringing in about 600 quids worth of business i would of thought the same as you

[cameron]

Exactly dude !

Its just not tennis, ye get me! LOL

Ah well, its like they say, there aint such a thing as a free meal ticket ;)

[Jamest5r]

Exactly dude !

Its just not tennis, ye get me! LOL

Ah well, its like they say, there aint such a thing as a free meal ticket ;)

[t5 pete]

I'll be there for just after 8 me thinks, get registered nice and early, get a good vantage point.

Just so everybody knows, all those that have paid deposits will have to pay the entry fee ( gate fee ;) ) Then when you meet up with me i'll give you your deposit back to go pay for the RWYB fee :B_thumb:

Im really hoping for good weather, and should be a good turn out, im hoping a few will be there just to spectate as well, we shall see.

10 more sleeps, come on already ! :D

[Jamest5r]

Mate we have a two hr drive so hope to be there by 11 got to sort the dogs etc as were away for the whole day, what time would our first go be on strip?

[Yosser]

Will aim to be there for 8.

Do we have to tell them we're with VPCUK/the Volvo lot/whatever?

[cameron]

First go on the strip :confused: EH PASS

Yosser, yeah let them know your with the club :B_thumb:

We have our own area in Midway, which are the rwyb pits :D

Dont have any ideas about the pits being, state of the art mechanics heaven, i dont think so. :doh:

TBH im not really sure what to expect, im there for the meet and the strip, the pits whatever they may turn out to be is a bonus :B_thumb:

P.S. - Dont forget the quickest time down the strip from our lot gets a trophy :D

[Jamest5r]

The pits are just a shorter drive to the start line i think nothing else!! on another note can we bring a barbie, food and couple of beers? weather permitting just a thought going to be a long day hopefully

[cameron]

Brill idea James, careful on the tinnies though ;)

[cameron]

[p fandango]

top speed run aswell, that'd be cool to do

[cameron]

Are you taking BT ?

[p fandango]

Are you taking BT ?
i would do but she's still a long way off being finshed yet mate, got to get a new windscreen & MOT before she can come back on the road

[cameron]

Ah thats a shame :(

1.25m for the top speed run :D

Should be good fun :B_thumb:

[Jamest5r]

Drive an hgv mate never do that, only one weak carling with a barbie sets it off!!! just a phase of speech, anyway better tell the mrs food for 15 then!!(im a dead man!!!)

[cameron]

Maybe everybody could contribute if someone can bring a barbie :confused:

I know what you mean about the tinnies mate, im the same ;)

PETE where have you been man :doh:

Did you get the new postcode, few posts up, its taken 13 miles off my journey :B_thumb:

[t5 pete]

Pete whos pete im dave ill get lost not matter what post code i punch in lol ill bring some meat for the barbie or we all can chip in which ever works best

[Jamest5r]

Can do barbie, charcol etc and "some" food, if no one else comes in they can have crap burger van food!!, no skin off our noses!!

[t5 pete]

Right then we have till this saturday for people who wants to put in for the bbq.
James do you want us to give you some money on the day or should we just bring our own meat?

[cameron]

Take your own would probably be easier for James ;)

That way he wouldnt have to bring half a dead cow in the back of his car :B_thumb:

[Jamest5r]

I'll sort the barbe and a couple of sacks of charcol then everybody can organise their own meat etc seems the easiest way. edit: typed before lees quick reply

[st5ve]

My T5 has engine problems so may have to take the R

[cameron]

Bloody hell steve, thats some drive dude :yikes:

Bring the R, Bring the R, the white one :B_thumb:

Bring the R, Bring the R, the white one :B_thumb:

Yep it is a long way!!!
I did not want to bring the R as it only has a stage 1 remap and fairly slow compared to the T5, the T5 piston oil seals have gone so its smoking like a good un, still goes very well but it will have you coughing your lungs up lol.

[st5ve]

Bloody hell, talk about being dedicated to the cause, way to go that man.....

I will have to stop at travelodge or something, do I get a trophy for the furthest distance travelled :-)

I will be taken the 854 R cameron its fairly slow so wont be breaking any records!

[cameron]

Excellent ive wanted to see a white R since i seen your old avatar :D

Plus i was looking for an R front for my old t5, so will be good to see what its like in the metal :B_thumb:

[Yosser]

Are you sure about this?

I thought it was at York Raceway, not Elvington :confused:

[cameron]

Yosser your right buddy :sorry:

I had some guy talk me into the fact that Elvington and York Raceway were one in the same :doh:

York Raceway is situated on the old Melbourne Airfield, near Melbourne, Seaton Ross and Pocklington, south west of York. It's signed from the north and south, from junction 37 off the M62. If you want to use www.streetmap.co.uk or www.multimap.co.uk to find the track, it's within the land of Melrose Farm, the postcode is YO42 4SS

Sorry for the confusion, i had a bit of a blonde moment :D

Barbie is still a go though, until we see what the weather forecast is the night before ;)

[Tomcat]

How many's actualy coming then Lee?, and what time are you setting off?.

[cameron]

Well Craig there are 15 deposits been paid, but im pretty sure that there are a few more, maybe another 5 or 6 coming to watch :D

I'm setting off from mine about 6:30am, to hopefully be there just after 8:00am.

[Tomcat]

Hmmmmm very very tempted now, how much is it to get in(just to watch)...

[cameron]

£10 per person just to watch matey :B_thumb:

[Tomcat]

Who's running Lee?..

[cameron]

Running list, not necessarily in order........

1. Myself
2. T5pete
3. Yosser
4. T5 Rob
5. JudgeNinja
6. Wobbly Dave
7. Randomguy ( late addition )
8. Smithy
9. Chad
10. Rimmer100 ( late addition )
11. Enigma666
12. Jamest5r
13. Gayle
14. St5ve
15. Dooby

[Jaseb77]

I take it if we are just coming to watch we will be cast into the the normal car park with the great unwashed, and not able to park up next to the "running" cars ?

[cameron]

Im not too sure tbh.

I think the cars that are running get a different area from those that arent.

Im assuming you would be herded into the public car park.

[Tomcat]

Well that's a bit grim for a club that's attending isn't it?.

[cameron]

Id imagine that there are limited spaces in the runners area Craig ;)

From looking at piccies on google it seems a pretty compact place so anybody attending wouldnt be that far away anyway, plus whats to stop people just walking about anyway :D

I really hope its a good day and there's a good turn out, you coming Craig ?

Remember guys if the weathers good James is taking a BBQ so take your burgers or whatever, or you'll be eating skanky burger van food.
