This sounds like a worthy project for the 25th. Wonder if someone like Dave McClellan could help grease some skids on this?

It looks a bit more visitor-friendly now than back in 1999 when cameras were not allowed. The general manager did allow some pics after we convinced him we weren't Uniroyal spies. We spent about an hour onsite, and he showed us all the various test tracks and the testing equipment.
Glad you got to see the facility, Ted.
