If you have ever wanted to test your car on a test track after doing some mods? Like does the bigger brakes really stop the car faster? How does the new suspension handle rough roads? How does the car handle while doing 1/3 mile laps on a test track? Or even do some 100ft drags to improve your launching and traction from a dig?

Well there is now a Public Test Track open in Naperville.

Maybe we should get a TCG meet there?

Guess when they built it they had other plans as well.

The Naperville Auto Test Track is a 7-acre facility located in Naperville, Illinois that provides a way for automobile customers to safely test drive passenger cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles in a closed environment. The track is designed to allow drivers to experience everyday road conditions during their test drive, such as asphalt roadway, a railroad crossing, cobblestone surface area, suburban driveway, high bank testing area, skid pad, and an SUV testing area with a hill climb and rough road section.

The facility will also have the ability to serve as a weekend competitive track for car clubs and their spectators, as well as a training facility for local Police and Fire Departments. The high profile of the facility in the community demanded an attractive, landscaped development with careful planning for parking and safe access that can be accepted and welcomed as a good neighbor to the citizens of Naperville.

Does anyone have a friend or relative at one of the listed dealerships?
Maybe we could test a few new cars on it?
Village Pontiac can bring out a couple of G8 GXP's and Solstice GXP's.
or
Gerald Nissan could bring out a couple of 370Z's.

And of course to properly evaluate the new vehicle we would need to compare it to our personal vehicle. ;)
