It is reassuring to know that there are people with vision, and capable of
implementing those dreams. Specifically, a person with the ability to do what
all avid motorsports enthusiasts aspire to do at some point—build your own
racetrack. In this case, the man is entrepreneur Larry Miller and the track is
Miller Motorsports Park, located 30 minutes west of Salt Lake City, Utah. The
facility has garnered international interest as a state-of-the-art circuit.
Legendary track designer Alan Wilson was brought in to create the
dynamic, challenging, and spectator-friendly circuit. Being recognized as the
safest circuit in the United States, it is specifically designed for overtaking,
with immense run-off areas for errant vehicles. Wilson calculated the
undulating circuit to challenge—forcing riders to study and analyze its
deceptive layout in order to achieve speed and fluidity. The apt pupil is
rewarded with a sinuous, seamless ballet of
adrenaline.
In addition to the highly
configurable main course, there are fully equipped garages, a hospitality center
and a media center. Also, a supermoto track doubles as a kart track.
