Off-road racing

Miller Motorsports Park is pleased to announce that it is adding the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series to its schedule of major events for 2010. The event is scheduled for the weekend of June 26-27, 2010. The Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series, which was created in 2008, is an example of what is known as “short-course off-road racing,” in which two- and four-wheel-drive trucks and off-road buggies race on man-made dirt circuits comprised of straights, whoops, jumps and corners. At Miller Motorsports Park, a new race circuit will be constructed in the infield of the southeast corner of the racetrack, located between Tooele Turn and Clubhouse Turn, specifically for this event.

Weekend racing

Fans of both two- and four-wheeled racing can satisfy their need for speed this Friday and Saturday, as the final rounds of the Miller Park Racing Association and the Utah Supermoto Championship will take place at Miller Motorsports Park. The Miller Park Racing Association, which was formed in 2006, is a regional auto racing series organized, sanctioned and subsidized by Miller Motorsports Park to build local and regional racing. Drivers compete for trophies and points toward the championship in 11 classes, including cars ranging from motorcycle-powered Legends Cars and Miatas to Mustangs, Corvettes and Porsches. This weekend is the final round of this year’s eight-round championship. Each round includes two races, with practice, qualifying and racing on both Saturday and Sunday. Supermoto is the hybrid form of motorcycle racing combing aspects of both road racing and motocross. Miller Motorsports Park created the Utah Supermoto Championship to encourage the growth of the sport in this region, utilizing its state-of-the-art Supermoto circuit that combines the 0.9-mile Miller Kart Track with two dirt motocross sections. A wide variety of classes is offered to appeal to both novices and experts. This Saturday will be the final round of the seven-event championship. Riders will be competing in eight classes for trophies and championship points.

Wildlife checkpoints

Don’t be surprised if wildlife officers stop your vehicle at an administrative checkpoint this fall. Division of Wildlife Resources officers conduct these checkpoints, formerly called roadblocks, throughout the year. But the number of checkpoints increases when the hunting seasons start in the fall. Scott Dalebout, a lieutenant with the DWR, says the checkpoints allow the DWR to help Utah’s fish and wildlife several ways. “Monitoring public compliance with wildlife laws is one of the major reasons we conduct the checkpoints,” Dalebout said. “We can contact a lot of people in a short period of time.” But catching those who violate wildlife laws isn’t the only reason the DWR conducts checkpoints. “Our biologists use these checkpoints to gather biological data about Utah’s fish and wildlife,” Dalebout said. “They examine the fish and wildlife that anglers and hunters have taken. They also visit with the anglers and hunters to learn more about the number and type of game they saw and the fish they hooked. “We’ve been entrusted as the guardians of Utah’s wildlife,” Dalebout said. “That means a lot to us. Checkpoints are one of the most important tools we have to help us fulfill that role.”
