Well the time has come again for york race way im aiming for the 29th of may which is a bank holiday weekend.
Also if the weather is nice there will be camping the night before with bbq.
York has just recently done there track up so it should be really good.
As before york always saves us are own allocated spaces and own lane for the 1/4mile so we all race together.
Can i have names for who wishes to attend and who wishes to attend and run the 1/4mile.
Also this is not a open rwyb so it wont be packed out as you have to book spaces, so we should have loads of runs.
Its not just limited to volvos so if you have friend who want to attend aswell there more than welcome.
Heres the link to york race way web site.
[SIZE="4"]Also a £10 refundable deposit on the day will be required and will need to be in by the 10th of april for those running[/SIZE]

Maybe people should pay a deposit of £10 each then we can hopefully avoid the long list of no shows and get the booking numbers fairly close to the "thread" attendees.

i know but when i went to santa pod it was a tenner to get in and £25 to race my missus got in free (lol) and my 15 year old daughter got in free (properly) so all in all nearly half the cost

All 50/50 for me at the moment, mainly because I don't know how free I will be that weekend than the state I think the car will be in.
There are those that already know but my business is a bit weird this year, I go through periods where there is too much work to complete and others where there is nothing. (Same as everyone else I suppose).

T5 Pete. Can I Bacs you the money or is it strictly Paypal?
Post 371160 by t5 pete on 2011-04-07 15:19:14
the deposits are only refundable on the day they reason for this is because that way only the pople who are deffinatly coming will pay the deposits.
It isnt a open RWYB and i need to let york know 2 week before the day how many cars will be running this way it wont be packed out and gives us more runs.
I accept payment in either.
Paypal as a gift
Cheque
and postal order.

Post 375257 by siamblue on 2011-05-01 08:59:18
well just about to leave, but i forgot that you need to wear a crash helmet and i don't have one :( unless someone has a size 57 or larger they could bring along?
Post 375259 by T5frankie on 2011-05-01 09:14:05
im not sure but i think i heard you can hire them?
Post 375314 by siamblue on 2011-05-01 17:31:56
No there was none on sale or for hire, no one from the forum turned up except Alan M, so all in a wasted trip as i couldn't run, probably about 20 cars there and about 15 bikes, i only stayed about 3 hours,
Is the York one still open? or has the book now been closed?

Yes mate it was a really bad show, the conditions were perfect breezy and about 17 degree C, i could've had about a dozen runs if i had a helmet it was that quiet,
I will ask the missus if she wants too camp there, i definitely want too go, i know it is 200 miles from me, but it will hopefully be a good day out, strange thing with me and quarter mile events something always bloody happens,
So do we need a helmet for this York event?
regards Gary
Post 375348 by Jamest5r on 2011-05-01 19:37:13
You should off popped by yesterday got two crash hats sitting in the t5r lol, yes you need a helmet for york, i went to a local motor bike shop and got 2 scratched ones for £30.

don't think any of the dragstrips have noise restrictions, but think you'll need your helmet as most are going that way now. I assume they'll check the car over like Avon

Fuels not really an issue, you're only running 1/4 of a mile at a time. Assuming you only get 4MPG thats 16 runs to a Gallon...ish

Why? save fuel or lower the IATs? I still have too measure my IATs, it would be interesting too see how quickly the heat dissapates but then again it's another thing on the list of to do's.

Only becasue yours aint been custom mapped yet.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was damp last year and mine had a slight fuelling issue at the time, my car would be running slower than last year.

I keep forgetting about richards, i'v seen one more s60r run as well, it weren't very fast (mid 15s i think), was probably an auto.
Never seen a t5 run though.
Thinking about who'll win though, i keep forgeting about deans car, he should be very quick.

York is mine and Smithy's "bogey" track lol, we can never get our two cars there at the same time, 2yrs ago Smithy had to turn around at the M18 because of a gearbox leak, last year was an oil cooler problem on the day before the meet and mine only came out of the same unit its in now running on the morning of the meet so untested and not right, so this year hopefully 3rd time lucky we will have both done, need to get mine out of where it is by sunday night and smithy's forged block should be ready by monday so you never know :) but not looking forward to lifting a reblock again with a bit of 4 x4 and a tow rope they are bloody heavy :)

I think if Smithy gets his running right he will get under 13 with the advantage of RWD, im hoping for low 13's if it's running right, but would love to get the 12.9 barrier that Elliot has held for a 850 for a loooong time :)

[quote=graemewelch;378066]are they any favourites for the fastest times. im new here and have no idea of the spec of most cars.[/quote]
I'm going for either richards s60r or smithys 940. If richards s60r is working well then we know it can do low 13s, smithys car will depend a lot on if its had any issues sorted and also if he's had enough time to practice with it.
Going to be good though, because i think deans and james will both be running 13s as well, so some close racing.
I'll be very interested to see what your s60t5 can do as they are a bit of an unknown to me on the 1/4mile, of the couple i'v been in they weren't that great off the line but once they started going past 50-60ish they really started to fly, its just that on the 1/4mile so much is down to the start, so depends on how good you are getting it going. Should have good terminal speed i'd have thought.
Post 378086 by graemewelch on 2011-05-14 23:31:03
that was going to be my next question, whats the best method for getting of the line, traction control on or off. mines a every day driver so wont be red lining when i release the clutch. thoses thing are dam expensive. hoping i can get under the 14 secs. but like you say its down to the skill of getting off the line

Can't help you there as i drive an auto so mine is really ****e off the line!
Go to a local industial estate at night and get some practice in ;-)
You don't need to go mental just practice a few starts in 1st.
Post 378091 by T5frankie on 2011-05-14 23:45:47
practice goes out the door when you have jelly legs on the start line to get under 14 secs you will need over 300bhp

best thing is to get into second asap but still keeping the turbo on boost

In an S60 if you have a standard clutch and flywheel it will be difficult. (The clutches dont tend to lock very well above 1500rpm if your using a progressive clutch technique).
You probably want to go for a lowish pressure for front tyres, high pressure for rears. (Maybe a 26-28/40-45 split).
Avoid wheel spin and keep the car level on launch then try to make the ground up once you have traction. You will probably be subject to boost limits in 1st and 2nd gear so maybe change at 4500-5000 into second and third then change at around 6000-6500 into forth. (This will be a trial and error exercise as I don't know your car, especially as I think its modified).
Other than that, keep your foot on the floor and when changing gears try to meet the revs with the accelerator.

Wheel alignment is quite out. Wheel balance slightly out. Sound like minor things and would be on most cars but not on the S60R lol
Also have to chuck the map back on and maybe clean the air filter.
Hopefully have time to sort all that next weekend. Need to find somewhere that will take the time to get the wheel alignment spot on.

Hopefully have time to sort all that next weekend. Need to find somewhere that will take the time to get the wheel alignment spot on.[/quote]

Don't listen to Frankie, my car was broken every time I ran it last year. BHP wise.....I'll let you know when I get a rolling road done.
It will be hard to get low 13's in an S60 with 350bhp and its more to do with clutch/flywheel than anything else.....not impossible though....do a practice run and we can review how to get the time down :-)
Smithy, did you manage to get ahold of the wheel alignment man?

There would be no point to it having feel as you cant progressively launch anyway. On the S60R you just have to come straight up off the clutch when launching or it doesn't move and theres lots of smell.
Not done that many 1/4 mile drag races to be honest. Yes its a good laugh....only reason I bother lol

When you go in, say that you are a member of a car club thats attending there and they should point you in the right direction. It don't matter if you are running or not, as you are part of vpcuk, we all get to park together.

M62 to junction 37 and follow the yellow signs. Form the north please exit the York ring road at the A1079 exit for Hull and head south for 15 miles. Do not use sat nav until you exit the M62 at junction 37 or are approaching York from the north. Racetrack postcode YO42 4SS, Seaton Ross.

Nice one Dean... any other times yet?
Post 381480 by t5_monkey on 2011-05-29 19:36:11
14.7399 @ 99.52 mph
Much better traction than last years aborted attempt, think I can still do better though! hitting the soft limiter in the gears before changing due to the excitement (that was only my 3rd ever 1/4 mile run)
60ft time was 2.5878 so plenty to be gained there too... I hear 2.2 is good, so that would bring me down to under 14.5 If I could manage that.
Can't believe what a difference having the CC3 tyres on has made to the car, got a full hook up in 1st, 2nd and 3rd on that run, was running 27PSI (in my tires :D )
Will try taking the spare wheel and my bag of tools out the back next time - and try not to put £30 of 95 RON in by MISTAKE on the way to the meeting!!
Wobbly's C70 is a Monster in 3rd Gear.... he pulled about 2 car lengths on me from 65-100
Was a great day and fantastic to meet all you geezers from the Forum - forgot to take photos, anyone got any Pics they want to post up??
Post 381481 by T5frankie on 2011-05-29 19:37:45
Am i gutted or what cheers dave for beating me for the coveted fastest 70 series he beat me by 1/100th of a second 14.61 versus my 14.62 both with a crappy 2.5 60ft, at least i got my revenge on our last meet when i whooped his arse the on my first race lol

Post 381497 by Wobbly Dave on 2011-05-29 20:16:38
Smashing day out despite the weather being a bit unruly. Very pleased with my times over all. I think I am missing a run against Frank. All but 1 of my runs was below the 100 mph mark & did a personal best to win the 70 series trophy. Road tyres worked better than the slicks for that final run. I was able to launch without spinning at 3500. I wish there had been time to try out 4K.
Best time was 14.613 - 102.99
however I did another 14.67 at 103.22
I judged everyone's car for the Show & Shine so congratulations to Liam for making a great effort.
I am not promising to run at Avon Park in July yet, but we will see. It was really good to see everyone. Smashing 4 car convoy on the way home - turned a few heads.

Post 381708 by danny-R on 2011-05-30 09:23:21
Very good turnout yesterday, my times were a bit dissapointing especially getting getting beat by leet5r lol. I was over fuelling like mad and kept bogging down low down in the rev range thanks to santa for videoing my 2 worst runs, my first and 4th (last) run went well-ish still only managed a 15.08 with terminal of 100mph.
I desperatley need the map on this turbo tuner looking at plus a few other mods lined up when when funds allow, which should be done by next year.
Big thumbs up to every one who turned up especially smithness for fastest time of the day.
cheers
Danny
Post 381712 by Santa on 2011-05-30 09:42:47
Think the FWD cars probably had a better chance of launching at York. Looking at the videos I think I lost around a second with bogging down and lack of surface contact at the end (due to car bouncing off track)......should be low 13's at least again at Avon/SantaPod. (Hopefully lol).

That was a great meet and a very good turnout, but what is it with york and crap weather! lol
Really had a good time even though my cars seems to be getting slower and slower.
Cheers to smithy for trying to get it to go faster :B_thumb:, he was up early on sunday morning before everyone was arriving trying to set up my actuator, it seemed quicker when we went for a drive, but not when it got on the track, but theres only so much you can do with a knackered actuator.
The induction noise is very loud now, considering its just a panel filter.
I had to stop for a sleep on the way home i was that tired, then went sleep about 10pm last night and got up at 11.30 this morning. lol
Considering the difficulties most people where having getting off the line i think there were some good time yesterday and well done to dean in winning 3 trophies (greedy git lol).
Cheers for the lend of the helmet james and to frank and richard for the offers, i'd already left when you had replied but cheers.
Lots of nice cars there and theres something about darks 850s and volans that just go together just right.

I was right at the back of you lot after turning out of the venue, me and me mate were laughing like hell when everyone got to the junction and some went straight ahead, some to the left and me to the right much to the amusement of the copper at the end of the road, he didnt know which way to look lol.
A few miles further down I overtook a sunday afternoon driver and my temperamental turbo decided to kick in which I wasnt expecting, as I was passing him I saw a copper further up the road with a speed gun, luckily I just hit 60 when I saw him and managed to coast passed the car.

Post 381841 by LiamT4 on 2011-05-30 16:36:02
I had to stop for fuel on the way back, bp ultimate, £1.50 a litre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then when we were driving past derbyshire/nottingham way on the m1, where all those silly speed cameras are with those variable speed limits, one of them suddenly flashed up "40mph" and everyone suddenly has to brake hard to slow down in time.
How is that improving safety - making everyone suddenly slow down.
There wasn't any reason either, as the next one had the normal sign on it.
Would it really have been fair on anyone whos just driving along at 70mph, good weather/visibility driving safe but not notice the sign early enough and not slow down in time, to get a speeding ticket.
Needed to have a moan about that. lol

I'v never heard a car with a panel filter sound like mine, it doesn't sound that much quieter than cone filter.

Its got some torque steer now, not much but it never had any before.
I think the engine is generally in good condition, dead smooth and i'v never noticed it smoking even on the dyno day, just a few little things here and there and i'm sure it'll go under 15secs.

atleast it did well on the 1/4 mile frank so with a nice fresh engine it should be very different
Post 382026 by t5_monkey on 2011-05-30 20:49:17
Problem - random loss of power - would suddenly have nothing under the right foot, slowed down even quicker when you put your foot down, then would pick up and recover for a bit and run fine. No warning signs on the dash.
Was OK for a while then would randomly lose power again.
Seems like a fuel supply issue as when it ran it was fine, and started after it had been at a steady throttle loading and RPM on the cruise control and you plipped the throttle.
It's still working, drove it on and off the ramp - will get it recovered to Drivers if possible they will be able to sort it this week! Don't need it for a fortnight so no biggie :)

Hi, just like to say thanks to Pete for organising this event again and it was good to meet everyone again.
Its nice to be back in a T5 again even though i only had a couple of days to get it ready having only had it a week, not happy with my time of 15.4 but it's a good base time and now i know what i have to do and she'll be ready for Avon.
Congratulations to smithess on his win, i won the event in 2009 when i had my previous car.

which ended up like this when i hit black ice.
Anyway, thanks again Pete and i'll see you all at Avon.
Cheers, Rob (the Black T5 in the video's)

i remember you posting pics before when it happened, but don't remember it being such a compact. Amazing that it looks like the passenger compartment is totally untouched even with the boot so squashed (does make me worry about mine since i've cut the boot floor out lol)
Post 382226 by T5 ROB on 2011-05-31 12:00:56
It was quite a bit shorter, but even with the boot pushed through the back window and the side wrinkled all the doors still worked and i managed to drive it home (slowly). Just wish i hadn't sold all the good bits because now i've got to buy them all again.
It was such a good car its a shame it ended like this
The only thing i kept was the T5 badge, which is good as my new car has been debadged.

The engine on mine is about the only thing that dosn't need work, suspension is shagged, interior sounds like its full of mice squeeking and brakes also need replacing as i think the rear shoes have come off and rubbing against the drum.
Ebay said - very well looked after and serviced every 7000 miles, my arse, but i'll get there.

HI I am very sorry i had too leave early without doing the last run and not saying goodbye, had an emergency in Cleethorpes that i had to get back too pronto, 2 kids missing and a dog, out in the North Sea on a bloody sand bank we found out in the end.
Anyway, had a brilliant time, great too meet you all, those first 2 vids Santa were of me V the black Honda and the kit car, track was awful really bad, but i managed a 14.69 at 100mph, wheelspin was a problem for me also in 1st and 2nd, plus i had too snatch 4th gear everytime to get over the line as i was hitting the limiter in 3rd at 7100rpm. not sure where the car stands now, i have spent too much money on her, the pot has dried up and for the extra mods v £'s i wasn't very happy with the car on the day,
Well we have 6 weeks too the next event, so hopefully get better times with the nice surface at Avon.
Oh and i did my O/S strut top mount on that back pit road, no wonder my suspension was tramping on my last run lol.
Gary.

your car must be running very similar power to mine 19t etc etc i managed a 14.6@100mph but we were all getting slow 60ft times 2.5-2.8 was mine so i would have had low 14's in that car with the right start at the right track same as yours will. what i did notice i can get over the line in 3rd with the 19's on

Not sure what she is putting out Frankie i would guess 285 whp, best 60ft for me was 2.5 which isn't too bad seeing the surface was terrible, Avon Park will be a lot better for sure ;)

same as everyone else then lol, still faster times to be had then on a better track
Post 382414 by t5_monkey on 2011-05-31 20:51:01
if it's a good track you can get 2.0 right ?
That means my 1/4 would be 14.2 .... about right for a terminal of 99.5
I think mine would benefit less from the good surface as my traction was excellent this year (compared to last year anyway!) got a good hookup 1st 2nd and 3rd.

Your time is brilliant with that terminal speed Barnsley Bill, do you need to grab 4th before you get over the finish line ?

Well the car was left as it was when i drove it in, not sure if that made any difference, i think i should've lowered the tyre pressures from 36psi but it is only a bit of fun lol.

I was the same as Gary, nothing changed on my car from getting there. and I hit fourth gear about 20 yards off the finishing line.
My reaction time on that run was 1.3820..........must do better lol.

Actually this is quite interesting.
Smithness was faster by 1/100th than me for the 1/4 mile but had to do 106mph terminal after losing 0.13sec on the 60ft.
Wobbly was about 0.3 secs slower on the 60ft than me but even though he managed 102 terminal he was about 0.9 secs slower.
So getting the 60ft rights seems almost crucial.
With some very simple and inaccurate maths if I pulled the usual 1.92 ish 60ft over 2.22 I'd have been in the 11's :-p (Obviously that doesn't take into account lots of stuff lol).

Absolutely - I know that in order to get my time down I need to find 2 or 3 tenths in my 60ft.
Sounds easy but everything has to hook up.
