Rwyb day @ york raceway

**GaryH** · Friday 19th June 2009, 14:20

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.

Cheers Gary

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!

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** · Friday 19th June 2009, 22:13

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

**Jamest5r** · Friday 19th June 2009, 22:21

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

**cameron** · Friday 19th June 2009, 22:25

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

You've done a great job organising it Cameron, well done mate.

**cameron** · Sunday 21st June 2009, 21:48

Thanks buddy

Well looking forward to it now, less than 2 weeks

**Jamest5r** · Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 21:22

Please volvo gods let the weather be as good on the 4th as this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**cameron** · Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 21:38

I'll 2nd that one buddy

What time is everyone going to be there roughly?

Gates open at 8am, registration from 9, and strip opens at 10

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

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 !

**Jamest5r** · Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 21:50

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** · Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 21:56

Will aim to be there for 8.

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

**cameron** · Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 22:37

First go on the strip

EH PASS

Yosser, yeah let them know your with the club

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

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

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

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

**Jamest5r** · Tuesday 23rd June 2009, 22:55

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
