Does Test Track have an alternate exit?

A little bit of background... Test Track is my 5 year old daughter's favorite ride at Epcot. That's all she wants FastPasses for, and she'll stand in line for as long as she needs to to ride.
Unfortunately, I have very bad respiratory reactions every time I ride. (I cough, vigorously enough to trigger my cough syncope, which means I cough until I pass out, rarely with a protein spill first) Not life-threatening, but highly unpleasant and exhausting. I've always been able to work out an appropriate entrance strategy with the CMs, but exiting has been more of a problem.
My current solution is to walk briskly and hold my breath from the first sign of irritation until I'm out of the building. I just can't hold my breath that long though. Usually the coughing spasms hit before I make it out, and it ends in a dash for the door.
I suspect that's my fastest way out of the building, but if there are other alternatives that wouldn't disturb the CMs, I'd like to know.

I'm not a CM so I don't know about an alt. exit, but would something like this help?
It's not the most attractive thing but it certainly seems better than coughing until you vomit and pass out..

Dawns problems does not lie in the fact that she is having a reaction to enviromental conditions but for some possable medical condition due to gravity, enertia, and g-force. I sometimes get the same thing.
Dawn, I just called TT for you, they do not have an alternitive exit for you, but they can arrange for you to have a temp issued wheelchair at the exit if you speak with the CM's before hand.

If they tell you that the alternate exit is out the door, to the right, over the hill, around the outhouse, through the tunnel, across the pond, first star to the left, down the spiral staircase, up the tree, down the zipline, over the railroad tracks and a little to the left, do NOT believe them...

Naw, Test Track is fortunately fairly straight-forward... after you pass through the gift shop.
How I would love a H2 from the gift shop...

The last exit I took from TT was to climb out of the vehicle halfway up the switchback turns, take a re-admit pass from a CM, walk down the ramp, through a door, down a backstage staircase and hall, and out a door which led to the exit display. But I've heard that's becoming more the normal way to exit TT.
