Si no i shall meet you by KFC and give you a car pass you then go down the road to RS components which is where you can park and it is also the service area,the stage goes from there into ARBURY estate and back out.
Justing meet up before 8am is just for marshals to sign in and help setting up.

Cool

Rough location of KFC Although looking at the map it isnt quite got all of the roads sorted out 4 that industrial estate but basically if u r kumin from da south M6 side the roundabout on the bottom of the map will be 1st thing u hit turn left & KFC on yer right
Arbury Estate im a bit lost on thou is this just like a mile west of the KFC where it says "Arbury mill fm" if u zoom map out to 25k?
Si
(editted 2 add the circle is a bit far north of where KFC is in reality but hey its a guide )
