I know what you mean, but it gives you something to look forward to at the weekend. Spent my lunch break at my desk filling my shocks for Sunday. Is it 5 yet, as my boy is racing tomorrow and we are traveling up tonight. Anyone else staying at Cherwell trave lodge.

Cars finished, boxes packed.

Just got to pack car, have something to eat and I'm off at about 6.00pm, hopefully get chance to pop into track on way to travelodge.

Track already looking very entertaining

EPS Industrial Estate, Appletree Road, Chipping Warden, Banbury, OX17 1LL

Haven't been there, but google maps puts OX17 1LL flag into a trading estate on north side of Appletree Road.

looks to be at the southern end of the airfield, hope that is it, if not Appletree Road will be full of lost oOple'ers

looks to be the biggest thing twix Appletree & Chipping Warden on the Appletree Road.

looks like a big blue gate with security check point, lots of little green men with ray guns and bug eyes, must be the cold

Disclaimer: Screen dump from bing, as I say, I assume this must be the place, Hertz is listed on EPS estate and shows as here
