Looks like a very short track.
Do you ever go out and play at Miller Motorsports Park out your way?
I think they generally go counter clockwise

I'm going to be out in SLC next week, wanna go karting

I heard they are closing MMP. That would be sad to lose a new track.

Sure. I'm not sure what all they offer out there.

The lease ends in Oct. The Millers are just going to walk away from the facility. The County has been looking for a new tenant or group to run it for months. Nothing announced yet.

Guess the old racing adage applies to track ownership too:

Q. How do you make a small fortune in racing?

A. Start with a large fortune.

They run only counter clockwise. It's an amazing facility. I'll be doing a full course (4.5mi.) track day there on my birthday, 9/7, Labor Day :dance:. I sure hope someone takes over the operation. It's the only track for quite a distance in that part of the country, and truly world-class. And the kart track is killer (in a good way )!
