From the South through Bedford
(Shorter route and simpler to follow but there may be more traffic though)
Likely to take 10-20 minutes longer. Leave the M1 at junction 13 and take the A421 towards Bedford and Cambridge. Take the A6 north towards Bedford and go through Bedford town centre following the A6 towards Rushden and Kettering. As the dual carriageway section of the A6 ends you will approach the village of Milton Ernest. Mind the speed camera and follow the A6 through the village. 3 miles after Milton Ernest, turn right at a roundabout signposted “Bedford Technology Park”. After about 1 mile turn left into Thurleigh Airfield Business Park. At the entrance to the site follow the Bedford Autodrome signs. PalmerSport personnel will meet you on your arrival.

Optimax on the way to Bedford.
Leave M1 J12 and turn right onto A5120 to Flitwick.
SHELL FLITWICK 101 AMPTHILL ROAD FLITWICK MK45 1BE
After garage continue on up to roundabout & turn right onto A507 to pick up A6.
Take the A6 north towards Bedford and go through Bedford town centre following the A6 towards Rushden and Kettering. As the dual carriageway section of the A6 ends you will approach the village of Milton Ernest. Mind the speed camera and follow the A6 through the village. 3 miles after Milton Ernest, turn right at a roundabout signposted “Bedford Technology Park”. After about 1 mile turn left into Thurleigh Airfield Business Park. At the entrance to the site follow the Bedford Autodrome signs. PalmerSport personnel will meet you on your arrival.
Sorry for the late maps but nearly lost the end of my mouse finger in a sprocket & chain at work.So mouse clicking has been a bit hit & miss.
Have a good run today & try & keep the noise down.Some of us may be having a lie in.

Hi Tiny,
Tested at a fairly consistent 86.5, 86.6 dB, so seems I need a different backbox
I thought it seemed quite quiet compared to others I've heard !
Hope our next meeting will be slightly less rushed !
How did everyone else get on ?

Stan , Sorry that out 1st meeting was a little rushed
But we wre on a really tight time schedule , Arrive 12pm , Test 12-30pm , Exit track 1-30 pm , Was going to be tight when you arrived @ 1:25pm
Glad that they got you tested , Seem a really good bunch there
Your car 430bhp!! Sounds good , May neeed to blag a passenger ride
We tested 11 Scoobies , With 8 Passes & 3 Failures
Hales Run 87.2 / 91.9
Robroy Run 88.0 / 87.5
87.5db is the failure for driveby , I Passed on both occasions Recording 84 / 85db Was measured As i changed from 2nd to 3rd @ 6-500rpm Going past the sound meter
Hales . Robroy & i Are all going to get Bungs made tho ,
There was one car White classic ( Waddsey69) He run 87.3 / 88.6 Without bung But then run laps with the bung & Recorded 81db ( So the bung making 7db difference )
Be good to see you all on 26th
