I'm actually from the Volvo Performance Club www.vpcuk.org :)

We are hoping to be going to Santa Pod on the 16th July if thats of interest to anyone? http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/t10040-santa-pod-rwyb.html

Its a good laugh and not too competitive and it would be great to have Volvo's of all shapes and sizes there!

you wont get any discount at pod, especially on a jap testin day. its normally £10 entrance and £15 for 3 runs, so not that bad really.

prices do vary dependant on the event.
gate fee is from £10 - £20
strip runs either 3 for £15 or same price for unlimited runs.

the last decent event this year will be the saturday nite special on october 14th, its a camp over event with a much quieter rwyb on the sunday, but it will be chilly so come prepared
