GM Test Track?

I was just poking around on Google Earth, and found Motoring Heaven outside of Burlington, right around 42deg37'N and 88deg18'W. It looks like it's labeled GM Test Track. Does anyone know anything about this beast? I'm sure we can't get on it, that would be too much to ask, but geez, look at it man!

I found it. Here is the link in Google Maps. It looks intriguing!

Someone could call there, it's half way for MM and CMMC MINI's. That would ROCK!

Looks like you can rent it:

Someone should call and find out how much it costs.

Incidentally, there's a nice stretch of road to go motoring nearby.

I talked to MGA today and they only rent out the skid pad for Auto Cross Events, cost $1500 a day plus listing them on a $2 million dollar Ins policy.

I guess we will keep going to other clubs Auto X'.

The rest of the track is not open to the public for testing only.

Nice find, and the roads around there are nice too.

The Mil Region has held events there when there's a conflict with Miller Park
