| Re: test track If I'm not mistaken I heard that Toyota might be picking up the contract when it expires. Not sure about that though.

| Re: test track Yea, I heard that as well. Still I don't think it will be Toyota I guess time will tell. If no one puts up the cash, maybe cars attraction? I guess that is a wild idea.

| Re: test track I thought I heard Lou say NASCAR might take it over. I'm not sure if he said it or not. But I heard that somewhere

 | Re: test track A NASCAR overlay would be pretty cool for Test Track, but would be hard to keep up with drivers switching teams and sponsors as often as they do.

| Re: test track I think NASCAR would be a good company to take over GE. I could see it being like a NASCAR garage for the queue, and then testing of the cars for the actual ride.

| Re: test track That seems like it would mean a pretty solid overhaul of the ride, I wouldn't mind seeing a change I dont think. |

| Re: test track I don't mind TT getting a refresher, but the problem is that NASCAR does not have a good reputation outside of it's fan base in American. The difference between the size of Formula 1 fan base and the NASCAR fan base is roughly comparable to football v. soccer worldwide. In other words, it's almost a joke. Also, in the Northeast and other parts of the country, and I'm sorry to say this but it's true, NASCAR is considered a "redneck" sport. I'm not saying it is but I live near NY and many people look down on it. While people might not like GM as a car maker any more at least the idea and appeal is universal. All car companies do something like this. A NASCAR experience also doesn't fit with the Future World theme. What will it be, the future of auto racing? It's not universal enough. |

| Re: test track Well, Disney HAS to part ways with GM. They are a badly tarnished and failed company. I am hopeful that Honda or Toyota will take it over as rumoured. However, the whole Nascar thing.....would be ok also. GM just has to go. We will soon find out.
