Hey guys, before I get some opinions I figured I should introduce myself. My name is Daniel, been a long time follower and finally decided to take the Vital plunge so to speak. I've been racing for 13 years now, just local stuff. But over all I just love to ride.

With that said, I'm taking my wife to her very first SX race in Salt Lake. I want to make sure she gets the full experience. We will definately be hitting up the pits early Saturday, but I was wondering if there will be anything at local shops or something of that nature going on Friday night? Thanks for any help!!!

Well, you will be in Utah, might as well pick up a few more wives. Smile

I'm sure someone will post here about the events, if not Racer X usually has the rundown on Wednesday or Thursday for the appearances.

Have a great trip and she'll love the SX.

Welcome to Vital.

Friday night MX race at Rocky Mountain Raceway in SLC. Or there is an outdoor Arenacross race out by Miller Motorsports Park in Toole (about 30 miles west of SLC???) on Friday night as well. Wink

If you like good beers, it's a BYOB state. My friend and I spent a couple evening at http://www.squatters.com/salt-lake-city/location.aspx. It was a very hip micro brwery pub. Also bring rain and warmer clothing. The weather can change pretty quickly there. There is a couple restaurants right outside of the stadium people like to go back and forth from throught the day. Thats is about all we found. For longer stay, bring your mtb bike or skis and can still spring ski outside of town.

Squatters is really good.

there's a beer/food joint called The Bayou, check it out. awesome food and a HUGE book of beers.

Friday from 2-7 at Full Throttle (about 10 minutes north of SLC) in Centerville is the Factory Kawi signing.

we have a big group tailgating in the south east parking lot from the Stadium. beer is not sold in the stadium, so in SLC the consuming is held outside the stadium, unless you bring a flask.

also, just down the road from the stadium is a bar called the Green Pig, good joint.

all of this is assuming you drink alcohol

Why don't they sell inside the stadium?

College Campus in downtown SLC, home of the LDS church basically. it's no BYU, but they still don't allow alcohol to be sold. but they could give two shits if you party in the parking lots, so there is that.

ps...

don't forget to bring your warm clothes. it's been hotter than hell for the last week but it's supposed to get cold.

and as we see every year, the weather never does what everyone hopes it will. last year was cold, the year before it snowed, and the year before i think it was ok but cold.

Yep, Squatters is a great time, and the food is awesome as well. You can order the sampler beer platter kinda thingy.... that has little glasses of all thier beers. Its a cool place.

I had a great time every time we went to SLC SX. 24 hour drive to get there... but it was worth it.

We also went out to St. Pierre I think its called, right on the Nevada/Utah border. Spent a day there in the sun, by the pool. It was super relaxing.

Utah has a pile of naturally beautiful women.... must be all the clean living. But, a ton of non-trashy gorgeous women. That part was sweet too... ha ha

Vernal is the armpit of the state. Some cool shit though like the dinosaurs fossils and some good riding close by.

"The KTM Race Team is confirmed to stop at The Edge Powersports Friday Night from about 5-7 PM. It will include Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen and Marvin Musquin. The Edge has free posters of each rider to sign."

Traffic on I-15 South is stupid at that time of day, so give yourself plenty of time to get there if you want to see Rocky, Moose Can and Dunge.

+1 on The Bayou and warm clothes recommendations.

yeah, great way to get to the stadium. Terrible way to get out of there! Been there, done that. I'd rather sit in my van waiting in traffic with the heater on than standing for the train freezing my ass off with the thousands of other people waiting!

Drink shitty low alcohol beer, and fuck Mormon bitches. They're great because most of them do anal to stay virgins.
