New Utah track?
A group of racers approached the Price Utah county commissioner's with the proposal of a new NHRA Div. 7 track.
Price, Utah is 87 miles south of Salt Lake and 64 miles north of I-70. With all the negative happenings and track closures, maybe there is hope for racers in the west? The kicker, Price is at 5600 feet of elevation. Larry |

Re: New Utah track?
I googled the town. Looks like a fun place with a prehistoric museum (ancestors) and yes places to stay if needed. The racers will be like a Woodstock scene invading the town. Good for the area's income I bet. Half the tracks we race at in division 7 are altitude adjusted. Rearend gears are stacked like cord wood out here.
