[Land-speed] GM Mesa AZ LSR ?

[BWANA343 at aol.com]

Just one more place I read about some time back, the VW test facility in  
Germany. 
It's got a straight-away over 4 miles long, looks to be only about 40 ft  
wide though. 
Just north of the town in this address.

Something for the European LSR guys to check out. It's in the former East  
Germany, they'd love to have tourists, I'd think.
