Army to build test track at Aberdeen

Posted by DarthDilbert at 11/10/2008 03:17:00 PM

The Army is scheduled to break ground Thursday for 4.5-mile high-speed test track at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The $8.8 million oval will be built at the post’s Automotive Technology Evaluation Facility. It will allow the military to test wheeled and tracked vehicles at high speeds. Some of those vehicles will be heavily armored and weigh as much as 119 tons.

If an M1 Abrams can go up to 42MPH, how do they classify "high speed"?
