Nice. I just happen to know someone who live in Salt Lake, UT. I am willing to bet this will be a helluva venue and helluvan event. Salt Lake may even be two-wheel road trip worthy versus my fly-in and fly-out plan for MotoGP at Indy this year.
I hope Miller has their stuff together as a successful event could mean bigger and better things (ahem - MotoGP???) in its future.

Here, here,
Let’s go for 3 MotoGp races in the US!
Actually, while Salt Lake City would be a great venue for many reasons (we hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics after all), it’s not as popular as a California destination and doesn’t have the racing heritage of an Indy. We do have great mountain riding for the true enthusiasts. What we don’t have is the proximity to several population centers. Of course that never stopped Qatar or China.
While I would love to have world championship racing here in Utah for many years to come, I have my doubts that we can command the crowds those series would like to have.
We’ll see?!?!
