    Just a visit to the test track which is within the factory grounds.

    The factory has been completely gutted and rebuilt to a metals company that makes engine blocks and other chassis components for vehicles. There isn't much left of the inside to match any pics but they might (if you ask a few days in advance) let you walk around the parameter. Since they already know about the club coming and approved it, they may be open to a supervised tour.

    They didn't want us taking pics of the facility so we obliged but we got a lot of great shots of the outside/front office areas.

    The day I spent in Belfast totally rocked. The city is beautiful.

    Is there any information on how to visit the test track outside of any scheduled events? I'm going to be over that way in a few months and I'd like to have a look at the facility grounds and the track.

    It's actually in very good shape, just a lot of surface growth to clear out.
