The highlight was a 'vette driving demo  :eek:

There is video out there somewhere from another time the AZ Avs visited the grounds; hopefully someone can post a link.
 
It was 66 degrees in my Av while driving the courses. The event was very kool!
 
Hmmm, nice try Mike, but I can only distinguish two digits. Um.. 74? ??  >:D
 
This link will slideshow a few of the pics that were taken ... more to come.

Excellent Pictures! I am looking forward to seeing the rest.

Thanks!

This event was awesome again.? The place is huge. It is 5,000 acres (Yes, three zero's, that is not a typo), and 68 miles of test roads. The vette demo was very impressive.? It was a great privilege to be able to have a peak inside this facility. A very big thanks.

Mike, Do you? have a way to post a copy of the aerial picture from the post card in the gift shop?

I will definitely be watching for more pics.




 
I'll take a digital picture of it and post later. For now, here is a screen shot from Mapsource.

To put it in perspective, the large round track is 5 miles long!  :eek:

That looks much nicer than Furd's facility in Yucca. `I suppose they have little to prove.. Or need to prove little .. or ?? :rolleyes:
 
Pictures from the GM DPG event have been posted to a website http://azavs.com/ once there, click on the picture with the heading " DPG June 06" to launch the still pics. The videos that were taken are still in the camcorder so there is still more to come.
