The first Utah REV Performance Track Day Event, offered at the Utah Motorsports Campus (UMC) on May 4, 2024, was a smash hit! Mike McGovern promised a comprehensive experience designed to take participants’ driving abilities to new heights, and he solidly delivered. As one of the 20 drivers participating, I know I loved it. 

I just got to spend an amazing Saturday with Utah Region RallyCross drivers. They’re possibly the most laid-back group of motorsport participants I’ve encountered. Don’t let the chill demeanor fool you though. When the helmets are on it’s game on! And, let’s be honest, sliding around corners while throwing a dusty rooster-tail just looks like a ton of fun! 

There are plenty of opportunities for street bike riders in Utah and surrounding states to get their motorcycles on a world-class race track. “APEXtrackdays” was born 20 years ago from the passion of riders who hoped to make quality track time affordable and within reach. Today they’re still going strong.

Most towns have plenty of jaw-dropping vehicles squirreled away in private garages. Fortunately, car shows pop up all over Utah during the warmer months, drawing these amazing machines out of hiding. And who doesn’t like seeing antiques, classics, and exotics that most of us only dream of owning?
