        Yucca is further south much further. The ground were sold this year to the city of Surprise they want to build a shopping mall there. I would really hate to see that happen. I like to see if they would open it for club racing and such they could even bring in Nascar the track is big enough. The Chrysler ground have never been owned by Volvo, Volvo's proving grounds are just up the street and Toyota is due west about 10 miles to the gate. I do live in Wittmann been out here 8 years. There are no no trespassing signs up that I could see but as for going in there was the matter of that very big gate. I am going to go to the City of Surprise and ask to go take more pics from the inside.
        I think you mean =/=.

        But, to clarify what mhurlbutjr is saying (and what is posted on Wikipedia) there are several proving grounds in AZ:
        -Ford/Volvo APG in Wittmann, AZ
        -Chrysler's facility in Wittmann, AZ (now closed, this is the one mhurlbutjr took pictures of)
        -former Ford APG in Yucca, AZ (Chrysler now owns it, bought it from Ford in '07)

        ...and several more not mentioned in this thread (VW, Toyota, Nissan, GM)
