As an added conference benefit, Smithers is planning a tour of the Treadwell Research Park Track after the second day of the conference, on Wednesday, May 24, 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM. 

We will provide transportation to and from the proving ground and a fun setting for discussions with conference attendees, great food and drinks, as well as the opportunity to tour the various testing areas at the proving ground. Smithers staff will be on hand for the tours and to answer any questions attendees may have. Participants will have a chance to see various track and surface types including wet and dry VDA’s, a high-speed oval, and off-road trails.

The Smithers team members and proving ground staff will be on hand to answer any questions. Transportation will be provided from the conference venue.
