I've just sent an inquiry message to the management @ Miller Motorsports Park (Utah) asking what the track rental fees are and availability.
The next step is to see how many people would be interested in doing a track day there.
If this generates enough interest, we may be able to make this event happen.
For the sake of making this financially realistic (i.e. keep the cost down for participants), I'd like to open this event up to ALL brands of bikes.
So, please respond back, either here or in a PM that you would be interested in doing this event. If this goes far enough, you will probably have to confirm your interested with a deposit.
I rode it for two days in October and it is a great track. They opened up the whole track for us which is about 4.5 miles per lap. That was tough trying to remember all the turns. If it is for the AMA configuration (outer track) I would be in and I am sure three or four others that I do track days with would be as well.
Alex, maybe you should PM luvtolean (I think he's here in OC) and see about combining it with the fireblades forum event. I think Miller is about as expensive as Fontana, but worth every penny.
Are rental rate is for the full or outer track it is $10,000 a day, Monday-Thrusday and $15,000 a day, Friday-Sunday. East or West Track is $5,000 a day Monday-Thrusday and $7,500 a day, Friday-Sunday. This does not included Ambulane/EV and Corner Worker Fees. The Ambulance fee is $80.00 a hour and EV is $120.00 a day. The corner worker fees are $80.00 per worker.
We are going to need to do the following:
1. GET A LOT MORE RIDERS
2. align with another organization and/or get some sponsorship
3. consider the East or West track (my pref is for the full thing in the AMA layout)
I dunno, the East and West loops are fantastic tracks and it takes a full day to learn either one. That AMA layout must be insanely fast. Well, OK, on second thought . . . .
By the way (I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this): I will pass Reopropf's a-- on my SPR. Then I'll pass him again on my CBR600rr. Then I'll pass him again on my Big Wheel.
He can get the biggest MV possible; I will pass him. Get the Superbike straight from Willow Grove. I don’t give a flying sh--. Get a f---ing rocket-powered, laser-guided MV 4000. I will still pass his a--. Get a nuclear-driven super un-f---ing believable Moto GP time-warp MV 6000. No problem. I will pass his a--. I will pass him on the outside. I will pass him on the inside. I will pass him in his sleep.

Well, the response to this hasn't been exactly overwhelming. I think the best approach here will be to join up with an existing organization.
I still believe MMP is a great choice. Yeah it's a bit of a haul for everyone, but it's a haul for EVERYONE and it's an awesome place, and one of the best tracks in the USA right now.
Apex Track Days (link) runs the events at MMP. They have their 2007 schedule up now, and as fortune would have it, there is a FULL course track day right after the AMA weekend!
So, we could go out, see the race, support the team, and then ride the track on the next day!
Chris, isn't one series of racing enough??!!
Now you want to go jump into WERA too???
What's next? AMA? WSBK? MOTOGP!!!???
Yeah, I'm jealous....
So, if we could get enough guys from So. Cal. interested in this, maybe we rent an RV and get a nice sized trailer to haul the bike? How's that for a long-weekend trip to SLC?

If you decided to Chris, I have to dust off the Kawasaki and do it with you. :naughty: (This is will be one of the selected few rounds that I might be able to do with my Wife's blessing!)

Cool! I haven't seen a schedule for 2007 yet, but I definitely want to do a few events in addition to WSMC. AFM also honors WSMC licenses, but I think WERA West runs the tracks I would prefer. I like Fontana and absolutely love Miller. I haven't been to Vegas yet, but I'll be attending the school there in a couple of weeks. How do you like the Vegas track? Got any secret tips for me?
Freddie uses LVMS Classic and Infield. They run the Classic counter-clockwise while the Infield clockwise. The Classic will be used exclusively for drills (Stop-&-Go) and the Infield also for drills but they will let you run the full Infield course in the afternoon of the second day. Nothing super tricky with plenty of run-off. Fun little track!!!
Let me and TAFFSPEED know, we might be able to get together for a drink or some thing.
