Drive 200 mph legally in the States for Charity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 30 through August 2 – Utah Fast Pass (Salt Lake City). Open to 40 “super cars” of yesterday and today, this inaugural event is being organized by Larry Miller (owner of the Utah Jazz and Utah’s new Miller Motorsports Park race track) as a fun charitable fundraiser.
Each day the Utah Highway Patrol will guide the group on a spirited tour of some of Utah’s most scenic national parks and thrilling mountain highways. On the third day, the troopers will shut down a 13 mile section and let participants experience the appropriate potential of their cars. For added fun, participants may choose to run at top speed through a charity radar trap in which the driver’s top speed is memorialized with a speeding ticket (suitable for framing) - but not memorialized on your driving record - for a tax-deductible donation to the earmarked charities (such as the Utah Highway Patrol’s Honoring Heroes Foundation) for whatever the speeding ticket would have been at that speed.
The high-speed fun continues that afternoon as the group takes to Miller Motorsports Park for hot laps. That evening, the cars will be on display on a closed off and secure block in downtown Salt Lake City so that the general public can see such a unique assembly of super cars while the participants celebrate 23 floors overhead at the Gala Ball and charity auction which caps off the event.
Other notes:
* Every community through which the Utah Fast Pass is scheduled to drive through or stop for lunch/dinner is very excited, so at each stop, there should be appreciative crowds.
* If someone has a noteworthy supercar that is not registered for street use, the State of Utah is issuing special “Utah Fast Pass” temporary license plates to participants.
The package price of $5,000 per car (two drivers can split cost by sharing a car) and a good portion being tax deductible and it is all inclusive: entry for one car, first-class hotel accommodations (double occupancy) and meals each day included the Gala Ball for both driver and co-driver. Contact Carolyn Ashburn at 801-563-4116, [email protected] or visit www.millermotorsportspark.com
Ferrari is well represented with an Enzo and F50 at this event, but not a single Lamborghini entered. Even though registration is closed, the organizers have set aside two slots for Lamborghini late entries. It would be nice if Lamborghini is represented, so contact Carolyn or the website for details.
