DIXIE DESTRUCTION April 23RD, HURRICANE UTAH
First If you are not going to make it please let me know ASAP! We have 3 spots left in the limited class if you know of anyone.
Attached is the arena layout. The arena entrance has changed, and it is highlighted on the right side of the map. When you exit turn off of West state RIGHT onto 5300 West and just past the DMV turn LEFT staying on 5300 West. The arena entrance will be on your right-hand side about 100 yards after you turn. DO NOT COME IN THE OLD Way, if you pass Wheeler Machinery you went too far. Have plenty of parking but you will be parked. It cannot be a park anywhere.
For those of you coming in on Friday, we will be doing inspections of hopefully 10 ish cars from 3pm until 7:30 pm. If they let us go longer, great but probably will be too dark. If we can go longer, we will. You are welcome to leave your cars and trailers at the arena, if you do this, I would definitely tarp your cars just an FYI.
There is a concert at the arena starting at 8pm. It is Walker Hayes country if you would like to go here is the link for concert tickets. Most of us will just be hanging out. Watching the concert come join us. Tickets go on sale Dec 6th and will go fast.
