Car shows and motorsports of many kinds are exploding in May, with plenty going on every weekend in Utah.

Catching the Drift Buffet Winter Soulstice competitive Pro-Am drifting on Saturday, March 1st, at UMC was a spectacular way to shake the winter blues. If you missed it, you should really get out to one of the next rounds to witness some insane levels of car control. 

An exotic-car track experience in Las Vegas is a fantastic way to beat the Utah winter blues. Dream Racing, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, is where I learned learned that racing is not driving!

Burned methanol washed over Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s “Bullring” oval track as the 2024 Bitnile Open Wheel Showdown blew into town, November 14 – 16. And methanol wasn’t the only atmospheric change. Not even the jets from nearby Nellis Air Force Base ripped the air like dozens of Modified, Supermodified, and Winged Sprint cars at full throttle. 

Competitors came from as far as New York, Florida, and British Columbia to vie for large purses. And plenty of Utah racers showed.
