    1/4 mile anyone? Essex events coming up

    Ladies and Gents,
    If anyones interested, there's a good few 1/4 mile YWYB days coming up at North Weald in Essex. It's run on the basis of the first 200 get to run, entrance is cheap to watch, and about £25 -30 to do as many runs as you want.
    I've done this twice before in other cars here, and it's a really really good day.

    There's about 5 or 6 dates this year i think.

    Apologies if this is a re-post

    What are the dates for this Rob?

    It's been a few years since I last went to one of these.
    Not that I'll run my V70, but the MR2 Turbo might.

    Always a good day out!

    Anyone going then?
    Official entrance from 9am, but if you want to do some runs you need to get there by 8.30 at the latest..........

    Well I did nt blow the car up, which is just as well, as I'm going to the Lake District in it at the end of May!
    I managed 15.8 secs at 91 MPH in it, not bad for a 14 year old very old bus. The traction was pretty poor, as I was wheelspinning in third, but I suppose at least thats easier on the transmission!!
    A good day out, but the only other Volvo there had a TVR engine in it!!
