Thumbs down Honda selling its proving grounds

I guess Honda doesn't need any test tracks of its own any more?

I wish the american dream was like a coupon redeemable anywhere.


"sir, is that lot for sale?"
"well yes it is, are you interested?"
"yes, here is my coupon for my american dream"
oh sir, that is to kind. Here are the keys, enjoy"


I guess is just that for most of us. just a dream.

Honda hasn't needed it for the past decade.

s2k wasn't even tested on there, they got their own testing facility in japan and that is where the s3000 was born.

Clearly, Honda has nothing left to prove... maybe they can sell it to Lexus.

They have one in Ohio, which is where most of their engineering is done so this track makes less sense to use.
