The Casual Concours will be at Stillwell Field/Cotton High School so do take advantage of the free car wash and take some time to make your Lotus beautiful. The Panoramic photo will be taken in the Concours site, a short drive from the hotel. Box lunches, prepared by a local culinary institute, will be available on your registration form. After the photo you'll have some time to take in more of the sights in and around Salt Lake City.

BEEF - Braised Short Rib, Baby Carrots, Cipollini Onions, Mashers

MONDAY
For those wishing to participate in a track experience, the Utah Lotus Owners Coalition (ULOCO) is holding an event at the Utah Motorsports Campus. The track is 35-miles from the main hotel. Utah Motorsports Campus is owned by Geely, the parent company of Lotus. ULOCO has invited LOG 40 attendees to participate in their event if they choose to do so. The track event this year is not being organized by Lotus, Ltd., and is not part of the main LOG weekend nor does Lotus Ltd have any organizational or financial participation in the event.
For more information on this event please go to: Utah Lotus Owners Coalition Track Day info on Sep 13, 2021 (510388) | MotorsportReg.com.
The day starts early with the mandatory classroom sessions starting at 8:45AM. There will be 3 run groups: Beginners with an instructor in the car for every lap; Intermediate or experienced drivers that don't need an instructor, however, an instructor will be with them for the first session to confirm their skill; the third group will be experienced drivers and race cars.
The current plan is to run the outer loop as indicated in the map below. This is the fastest track configuration and total length is a little over 4 miles. There is plenty of runoff space everywhere, and UMC is considered one of the safest tracks in the USA. Track sessions will be 20-30 minutes long, there will be manned corner stations and emergency crews during all the sessions. The last run group will finish around 5pm. Helmets will be available to rent at the track. PLEASE BE SURE YOUR CAR IS IN RACE-READY CONDITION! SPEEDS AT THE END OF THE FRONT STRAIGHT FOR SOME CARS WILL BE IN EXCESS OF 150MPH. IF YOUR CAR IS NOT TRACK READY, YOU WILL NOT RUN AND YOUR MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED. We will be checking tires , steering and brakes at the track. Please don’t show up with 30-year old tires, loose steering or leaky brakes. You can get the heebee jeebees thinking about what would happen to a plastic and aluminum car if a tire blew at 140 mph.
Utah Motorsports Campus
Thirty minutes from the hotel is the Utah Motorsports Campus. Owned by Geely, the parent company of Lotus, the UMC is a wonderful 4.5 mile 23 turn track. Please scroll to the end of the LOG video to see a video of the track.
UMC will be the site of many future Lotus events as it is the Lotus home track in the USA. On Monday September 13, the Utah Lotus Owners Coalition will be hosting a track event. Although this track and autocross event is not a part of the main Lotus Ltd. LOG 40 weekend, this ULOCO Monday event will give our attendees an appreciation of the only track in the USA owned by Lotus. All LOG 40 attendees are invited to register and drive or to spectate. Come enjoy the Lotus cars participating in the day.
