On April 1 2012 the Volvo Elandrun (organised by the various Dutch Volvo clubs and the Volvo Klassieker Vereniging) was held at the Midland Circuit in Lelystad (The Netherlands).
Since my Volvo 244 diesel is way too slow for a time attack I participate with Kevin (the mechanic of Scandcar) and his Volvo 164. The 164 has a B30E-engine (Bosch D-Jetronic) and is made in 1974. We managed to became 2nd in Class 1 (which covers cars like the Volvo 140/164-series and some other old Volvos). Not bad at all, especially since it’s our first trackday!
Here are the pictures I took that day.
 R-sport dashboard of the Volvo 164 |  Bumpy roads in Flevoland |
 Almost there! |  Entrance of the Midland Circuit |
 The Midland circuit is a oval with an other circuit on the inside (just like Indianapolis and most other ovals) |  A very nice blue V70R (Classic) |
 And the Volvo V70R as a newer version (V70N) |  Volvo V70 Classic on the circuit |
 Very nice color! |  Volvo 240 Rally and service car of the Volvo Rallyteam |
 This Volvo PV 544 wasn’t racing that day |  The Volvo Rallyteam also has a Volvo 940 rallycar |
 This Volvo 1800S only drove a couple of laps before getting big troubles with the ignition. The car didn’t run anymore and was transported away with a trailer of the ANWB (the Dutch road assistance) |  Waiting before entering the track |
 A lot of different Volvos |  Some generations of Volvo Estates |
 Hey, that’s us! Picture taken by someone else but don’t know who…. |  Some people brought extra tires and changed them just before entering the track |
 Inside the Volvo 164 at the waiting line |  The Volvo rallyteam preparing for some runs on the circuit |
 The B30E-engine of Kevin’s Volvo 164 |  A very cool Volvo Amazon on the track |
 The Volvo P1800 in action just before retiring |  Limo-racing! A Volvo 960 Executive on the racetrack, very stange to see |
 I’m wondering if the navigator should be sitting on the back seat 😉 |  Another view of the Volvo 960 Executive |
 Volvo 940 of the Dutch Volvo rallyteam on a trailer |  The Volvo 940 in action |
 The Volvo Rallyteam drove a lot of demo-laps and visitors were able to join them in the navigator seat. So did I, it’s very cool! |  The Volvo 164 just before entering the start position of the circuit |
 Almost there! |  Going to the starting position |
 Kevin in his Volvo 164 flying around (picture taken by Autopics) |  The Volvo 164 with a lot of understeer (picture taken by Autopics) |
 And again (picture taken by Autopics) |  The Volvo 164 is much better on straight lines (and that’s me at the passenger side, picture taken by Autopics) |
 Some various Volvos at the Elandrun |  Line-up of the red Volvo 850R |
 Volvo 240 racing |  Volvo 440 Turbo |
 Volvo 360 with a very nice bodykit |  Volvo 240 Estate on the track |
 Again the Volvo 164 in action (picture taken by Autopics) |  Volvo 850 T-5R Estate in Cream Yellow |
 This Volvo 440 Turbo was pretty fast |  These Volvo 340 and 740 16V were especially build for trackdays |
 Another run of the rally Volvo 240 |  Just before I entered the track with the Volvo 164E |
 The Volvo 940 behind the 164 was also prepared for trackdays |  I’m racing with an old Volvo! (Picture taken by Powerpete) |
 Oops, a lock-up of a brake! |  A lot of understeer (picture taken by Powerpete) |
 Almost at the finish (picture taken by Powerpete) |  The B30 had some cooling issues but everything went well |
 A very cool Volvo 242 with BBS-wheels |  Volvo 240 Polar |
 The front of the ’74 Volvo 164 E |  The Volvo 240 Rally is a very nice car |
 A nice picture of the Volvo 164 taken by the Volvo Rallyteam |  Another picture taken by the Volvo Rallyteam |
 Again an Autopics-picture |  A Volvo 240 Estate also isn’t the best racecar 😉 |
