Spring is finally here! Not only is the weather warming up, but so is the action on the track!
Good News: We have eliminated spectator fees for all our amateur and semi-pro events! This includes our amateur sports car (NASA Utah), superbike and supermoto (Utah Sport Bike Association), off-road (Lucas Oil Regional Off-Road Racing Series) and karting (Utah Kart Championship) racing series, plus our Porsche Club of America and Porsche Pirelli Trophy West USA events as well as the new ChampCar Endurance Series Rocky Mountain 24!
More Good News: Tickets for all our major events are now on sale. Our schedule of events for 2018 is almost identical to last year, with MotoAmerica, Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, Pirelli World Challenge and the AHRMA Bonneville Vintage Grand Prix.
Even More Good News: We’re offering a Father’s Day Special for our Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series event in August. Purchase your tickets before Father’s Day (June 17), and get five dollars off your ticket price!
Call your friends and family, make your plans, get your tickets and let’s go racing!
The UMC Kart Center is now open for the season, and our fleet of Righetti karts and state-of-the-art racing simulators are waiting for you to come out and put the hammer down!
Our crew is currently installing lights around the kart track, so we’ll be offering Night Racing soon! What better way to spend a warm summer night than crushing your pals on the kart track? We’ll keep you posted.
UMC is proud to be Utah’s home for Lantern Fest, and it has become one of our most popular events over the past three years. They’re returning on May 19, and we’re looking forward to another magical evening. If you’ve attended before, you know how special this event is. If not, you need to experience it for yourself.
We’re adding a neat new feature to this year’s Lantern Fest! Create your own customized memory of this year’s Lantern Fest on a 12" x 12" canvas with the ability to custom paint your experience of the unforgettable setting along with your own personal wish or intention. There will be three sessions, at 3:00 pm, 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm. Reserve your spot today!
Last year, we decided it was time to host our own car show, and thus the Cruzer Palooza Classic and Custom Car Show was born. It was very warmly received, and we were encouraged to make it an annual event. As a result, the Second Annual Cruzer Palooza is going down on May 26. Cool cars, fun people, a swap meet, burnout contest, food trucks, Cruise Night Saturday, a Kid Zone and laps on the track are all part of the fun. If you have a cool car, bring it out! If not, come out and enjoy the cars and the nice weather!
With Spring here, we’re starting to book a bunch of corporate events for companies who want to treat their clients and employees to a fun and memorable high-speed day at the track. Nobody does it better than UMC!
Let our team of expert event-planners custom-design an event for you. You can utilize any or all of our various means of satisfying your group’s need for speed, and augment it with catering, meeting spaces or just about anything you can dream up.

The UNI Crisis Call Center is located on the fourth floor of the building. Media should plan to arrive 15 minutes early to find parking either on the street or on the second floor of the center’s parking structure. Please refrain from parking on the first floor of the center, as it is reserved for patients.
The center has asked that all media take the elevator to the fourth floor, where they will be directed to the conference room.
Due to patient privacy reasons, media are kindly requested to avoid the fifth floor, and may not be invited to join the governor during his tour of the call center.
B-roll of the call center is available upon request.
