Title: Honda selling its California test facility. Any Takers?
Post by: DaleB on January 14, 2011, 03:20:45 PM
Honda America has apparently decided that they don't need their Cantil California Proving Center. They have another center in Ohio that's a lot closer to their R&D HQ.  Maybe they think that it's all they need.

It'd be pretty cool to have access to this place. You get a 7.5 mile oval and several paved and unpaved road courses.
