WSBK at Miller Motorsports?

[anthonyk]

Anyone been? I'm pondering setting up some work travel that puts me in Salt Lake at the same time as the Miller round of WSBK. Looking for any info on the event itself. Are the paddocks open for wandering? Is it worth checking out the practice days? How are the grandstands?

I have. The practice days were, in some ways, better than race days.

C'mon, don't be coy. How so?

Well, maybe if you came out to Mings I could TELL you rather than type it. At the practices, the racers walk around the paddock - when they are done, they hang out. After the races they leave. The reason - Toele, UT sucks. There is nothing to do there. By nothing, I mean NOTHING. And Salt Lake is about an hour drive away.

I recommend paddock passes. I didn't go into the grandstands, but I do know their facilities are top notch.

Don't even get me started on my lack of a social life these days.

Hmm, sounds like it's worth going for the practice days, since I'm already going to be in the area. Thanks!
