This thing gives me wood.

4.5 miles, something like 22 turns. 200ft elevation change (I'm told), world class facilities including garages and the whole nine. :drool:

Oh, it's opening in late summer.

I forsee a trip to Utah!

not to spoil a good thing but chances are on casual track days and test and tune days the track will be split into 2 courses. Each course will be somewhat like 2nd creek with all 2nd and 3rd gear turns......let hope i am wrong on that.

i don't quite understand the track developers in this country...."The road course will be designed to meet all appropriate safety and operational standards as would be required by any North American sanctioning body."
As we all know those "north american safety standards" aren't very high. If you are investing to build a new track why not make it a true world class FIA certified facility so you can attract the likes of formula 1 and motogp?

What would the point of that be?

The only reason this track won't take a GP or F1 race is because of the paddock design, from what I'm told. Has nothing to do with safety.

I see $300+ per day

its what it takes in order to ride better facilities. This $45 for us to get track time is phenominal. Pahrump (spring mtn motorsports park) was 385 for two days and I would (and will) pay that again in a heart beat to ride a 'real' track.
