Troy and I spent the past few days making a trip to Miller Motorsport Park in Salt Lake City, Utah. We left Thursday night pulling a trailer with four bikes and all the support gear. We made the 905 mile trip in 17 hours. The trip down was eventless but very tiring.
It was my first time at Miller. When we pulled into that place, I was in shock. That place is huge and reminded me of Disney World. It's so big, they can have road racing bikes, road racing auto's, go cart races, dirt bike races, soccer games and base ball games all going at the same time! Unbelieveable!
We made the trip to participate in Adrenaline Freaks track days (Saturday & Sunday). Mario and Melissa are both great hosts and worked very hard to make sure everyone had a great time.
We had the entire track on Saturday which consists of 4.5 miles and 23 turns with a long front straight. I had a hell of a time trying to memorize all the turns. By days end I was getting pretty comfortable with the track but 23 turns is a bunch to get down in one day.
Day two we had just half the track which is what most track days consist of. I had a pretty easy time getting comfy on fewer turns. The track is a smooth as glass without a ripple or bump anywhere. The amount of grip is unbelievable. I got lower than I've ever been before without crashing. Shitz starts to drag that you don't even know you have What a blast!
Only two crashes all weekend. One race bike ran off the track and one poor soul totalled a fancy GSXR600. And for you michelin fans, yes, he was on pilot powers
Adrenaline Freaks has another two days of track fun at Miller in August. I hope to attend that event as well? Any of you who have never been to Miller, if at all possible, make that trip. It will be a memorable event you'll never forget. I am in love with that place. It makes our local "Pacific Raceway" track look like a cow pasture. Literally! Mario took us up into the control room which appears to be a takeoff of the control tower at SeaTac. Cameras view the entire track just like you see on Moto GP. I have not a clue how much money has been invested into that place but I'm sure it's enough to buy a new duc?
I just want to thank Mario & Melissa for inviting Troy and me down for such a great weekend of fun. But then, like all things we enjoy, it comes to an end and we had to face that long ass ride back to Olympia. We left Sunday evening around 6:00 PM and arrived in Olympia at noon on Monday.
I'm not mentioning any names but one dumbshit left his bike key at home and had to borrow a bike to ride!
