==Pavilion History==
The history of what is today known as the Test Track pavilion began in 1975 when designs for an EPCOT theme park were just beginning <ref name= "widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/wom.htm </ref>. As part of the plans for the new theme park, Imagineers planned on having a Transportation pavilion in the in new park <ref name= "widen"/>. A chance meeting between Imagineer Harper Goff and Bill Mitchell (General Motor's head of design) at a school dedication in 1976 <ref name= "widen"/>, eventually led to GM signing on as the sponsor of the Transportation pavilion in the unbuilt EPCOT Center <ref name= "widen"/>. Remembering the success that Ford had in partnering with Disney at the 1964 World's Fair, GM agreed to 15 year contract, becoming the first of EPCOT Center's many sponsors <ref> http://progresscityusa.com/2011/06/28/whirl-of-motion/ </ref>.
