I just saw a story on KSL to the effect that Larry Miller is planning to build a huge, "world-class" car-racing facility on the road between Grantsville and Tooele. The renderings and siteplans I saw were for a very large facility, tens of thousands of seats, acres and acres of track. Like a Daytona or Indianapolis... I hope this doesn't compromise SPOC or the Lakeside site; to say nothing of the traffic problems it will bring to highway 201 & I-80. Anybody have further info on this? Do they race at night?
I first heard about it from my boss at the drop zone. He's concerned that the Homeland Security folks will ban flying in the area and shut down the Erda airport when the track is being used. I wonder what the noise will be like. While the light pollution ordinance should protect the skies I don't know what will protect our ears. Patrick
