Up in Utah, counting down....
My wife and I arrived in SLC about 3 hours ago and couldn't be more excited to countdown until Tuesday. We are staying in the Radisson downtown and have a great view of the mountains. It's also right across the street from the Jazz's arena, so we might try and catch a game while we're in town (never been to an NBA game). But anyways, we got a nice little goodie bag from the hotel for doing Track Attack. Inside of it is a sticker of the track (a must for the car), a lanyard, lip balm and a little ad for MMP. There is also a big sign in the lobby welcoming the Boss owners. Definitely excited to be here. Sad I have to drive a rental until Tuesday, but that'll make up for it.

I have been thinking about staying there due the proximity of the airport and everything else. I understand the track is about 40 mins away. Not sure if I want to be closer to the track or not. My problem is I have to fly out early the next morning so the rental would definitely be easier if I stayed where you are staying. Be sure to post some pics of your stay! September cannot come fast enough.

Still in Texas, counting down...
The plan is to get up around 4am tomorrow morning for the first leg of the long haul to Utah. Map says about 1280 miles. Mercy. Don't worry, I'm going to split it into two days. I'm also at the Radisson. Not likely to see anyone until the dinner, though.
The race is next weekend and I will definitely be taking Mark up on his offer!
Okay boys, I got a trunk full of Coors and I'm westbound and DOWN!

Sean you'll have a great time. Enjoy your visit to SLC. Drive up to Park City for lunch tomorrow if you don't have plans.

I think that's what we're going to do, check out all the Olympic stuff and grab some lunch in the mountains. Don't get those in Fl, so I think we'll take advantage! Too bad the rental isn't the car I'd like to be driving on a road that actually has some curves and elevation change.

I'm here! The scenery and roads along the drive were stunning. Driving here was absolutely the right choice. It took about 23 hours - 16.5 yesterday and 6.5 today. I have enough time to rest a little, clean up, and maybe find a car wash before dinner.
I guess I got confused and I'm not at the Radisson after all. I'm at the new host hotel, which is the Hyatt Place near the airport. No TMS mates, nor any sign of a goody bag, but the room is SWANK. 42" LG HDTV FTW!
