Fast track: Larry Miller's park called one of the finest courses in the country
Put the East and West tracks together for the full 4.5 miles, with the 3,500-foot straight, and the track requires a whole new set of driving skills. It's fast, challenging and is getting very favorable comments from pro drivers.
Bypass the turns in the center and take just the outer loop and the track becomes very fast, not as technical, but flows well.
Vickie Kinder-Fritz, clubhouse manager and former G.T. endurance and Formula Ford driver, said incoming drivers will find the Miller track deceptive.
"It's going to take most drivers, I would say, between 10 and 20 laps to get comfortable, which is very unusual for an experienced driver. Normally, they'd be able to just look at a track and go fast. Not here," she said.
Wilson explained that he spent as much time designing spectator sites as he did the track.
"Everyone is talking about the track, but I'm probably more proud of the way the entire facility works. I'm as happy with the interaction the spectators will have with what's happening on the track as I am with the track itself, and I'm pretty happy with the track," he said.
Miller admitted that it's going to take time and money to educate race fans to the type of races that will be held at the park.
"A friend asked me if there were enough auto-racing fans here in Utah for this type of track. I told him there were a lot of fans out here, they just don't know it yet," he said.
