test track?

Have been contacted by a journalist for a magazine, who wishes to write a piece on ZHooligan's and my ZX12Rs. The article will be covering three bikes, all set up for different endeavors.

1. Street bike - 1361 w/NOS motor, marchesinis, brembo, galfer, etc.

2. Roadrace (endurance) bike - 1270 motor, marchesinis, ferodo, zx7r swingarm, etc.

3. Dragrace / Land Speed bike - 1347 motor, pingle bars, etc.

Part of the article will be a riding evaluation of each of them. Unfortunately, there's no good high speed test tracks up here in the PNW. Anyone have a contact for the Honda test track in CA?

The magazine guy should have a line on it I would think.

They don't have a line on a long track. And the magazine will not allow the writer to participate in an illegal highspeed run or right about it. So we are trying to come up with something.
