...A telling sign of the times comes from Honda, as Big Red puts its massive test facility up for sale. Located just two hours north of Los Angeles, Honda Proving Grounds center near California City features all modern conveniences and improvements: fully state-of-the art oval, road course, motocross track and all hidden by landscaped berms....

can we say DMF track?!?!?!

We could start a NASBIKE series on that oval! And I bet DMG would sponsor it!

For less than the cost of a track day per week, you can sponsor a racetrack in need. Your racetrack will send you pictures and letters every week. And you'll receive monthly progress reports detailing repaving, safety improvements, and lap times.

Can I put that on my debit card or do I need to arrange a wire transfer?

I hear they're still giving out questionable loans.  Just go in with a $20 bank check to the closing.  When they all look at you funny you just respond with "What?  You all send $20 down right?"

"What do you mean 20% down?!  All I have is $20.  Take it or leave it............................."

The track will be all yours.

Don't make any payments and complain that the the economy has gone bad and they need to adjust the principle.   ;)

Then give us a call and we'll all test the track.

That only works if you're either:
(A) Already rich and have connections on Wall Street
or
(B) A corporation
