Inspector Danny Warner from Essex Police said: "We have taken this action to combat anti-social use of vehicles and because of the impact we know these types of events have on people who live in the area where they happen.
"Events such as this usually involve complaints about anti-social driving, speeding, racing, and loud exhausts.
