What Happens in Vegas…Also Happens in Utah!
Freddie Spencer's High Performance Riding School offers
school dates not only at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but also
at Miller Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City, Utah. FSHPRS
has been training riders at this state-of-the-art road racing
complex since June 2006 with the same level of excellence
and in-depth curriculum that our school is known for.
If you plan on attending a school at Miller Motorsports
Park, we recommend the Residence Inn by Marriott near the
Salt Lake Airport. Students should contact the hotel directly
to reserve a room, making sure to say they are with "Spencer's
Riding School," at which point they will receive the
group discount rate. Upon landing at the airport, students
should contact the hotel to arrange for shuttle pick-up.
Transportation will be provided from the hotel to the race
track each school day. Additionally, the hotel will transport
students back to airport form the hotel when they are ready
to leave.
You can contact the Residence Inn at:

THE RACE TRACK
The following information is courtesy of www.millermotorsportspark.com:
The Miller Motorsports Park road course is a 4.5-mile-long,
40-50-foot-wide, 24-turn layout that provides a variety
of cornering speeds, from 50 mph to well over 100 mph. The
fastest cars and motorcycles will approach 200 mph on the
track's 50-foot-wide, 3500-foot main straight.
The course has four possible configurations. The 2.24-mile
East Course is a highly technical challenge suited to lower-powered,
better-handling cars and motorcycles, while the 2.2-mile
West Course is fitting for higher-powered, larger cars and
motorcycles.
The East Course has as many as seven major overtaking areas
and 14 corners, including the three-turn esses, which have
significant elevation changes. The feature corner on the
East course is the final turn, a 50-foot-wide, nine-degree
banked sweeper that leads onto the main straight. It is
designed to create last-minute overtaking challenges before
the race to the finish line.
The West Course is notable for a sequence of three very
fast (100 mph+) corners which lead to the heaviest-braking
and slowest corner on the track, turn W5, whose 45-foot-wide
entrance encourages overtaking. The rest of the West Course
features several multiple-radius and complex corners designed
to challenge riders' skills.
Miller Motorsports Park's longest configuration, the Full
Course, has a character completely different from either
of the two shorter layouts. In this 4.5-mile configuration,
the longest lap in America, speeds will be extremely high
both at the end of the long main straight and through the
daunting sequence of turns that comprise the first elements
of the East side of the course, where cornering speeds will
approach 150 mph.
A fourth configuration, the 3.06-mile Outer Course, eliminates
the entire infield section and is one of the fastest track
layouts in North America.
While the track is basically flat, Miller Motorsports Park's
designers have incorporated several significant elevation
changes in order to add character, challenge and unparalleled
sightlines for spectators.
The combination of potential layouts, each with its own
distinct characteristics, enables Miller Motorsports Park
to provide challenges for riders of all skill levels while
simultaneously providing spectators exceptional race action.
SPECTATOR FACILITIES
Miller Motorsports Park is unique in that it offers spectators
almost 100% sightlines of the entire track from any viewing
location, while providing up-close viewing of prime race
action zones. This is possible because of the inherently
level nature of the property, which has enabled Miller Motorsports
Park to locate spectators around the perimeter of the course
while ensuring that the track layout brings major overtaking
and action zones close to spectator areas.
Six different spectator areas, known as Oases, are prime
viewing areas where features such as raised spectator banks,
grandstands, restrooms, concessions, catering, nearby parking
and other amenities are located. These Oases are linked
by roadways that provide access to each other and to the
Paddock and Expo area, and are also connected by pathways
that follow most of the track's perimeter.
LOCATION
Miller Motorsports Park is situated in Tooele, Utah, just
35 minutes from downtown Salt Lake, 25 minutes from Salt
Lake City International Airport and about 10 minutes from
Tooele or Grantsville. Miller Motorsports Park is easily
accessed by major highways (I-80), and surrounding county
roads.
