    Great place to race your RC's! They also have a store front that is well stocked with the major…read moreracing brands. The folks that run the place are very knowledgeable and eager to help out. They have a great layout and the track is updated frequently. The patrons are also mostly friendly and many of the experienced racers are also eager to help share their knowledge and experience. All of these things are what got me into casually racing. Maybe after I get some experience, I'll get more competitive.

    I would honestly give this place a half star rating if I could at most. They don't keep the…read moreschedules updated on there Facebook page nor their direct website. We travel from out of state to go to this facility and not once but twice we have shown up to open race times according to their posted schedules on their website and Facebook only to find out that their is no open race time and entry to even join the races were closed. Let alone sign ups have been open for weeks we find out when we call and spoke to a girl. Who didn't even apologize for mistake on their end for not keeping up with schedules. We will not continue to support this business if this how they think it should be ran. I know others probably look at the schedules on their website and Facebook and show up and end up not being able to enjoy their hobby and love for RC cars. Good luck to anyone traveling from out of town to go open rc car time frames.

    Rating (maximum points = 5)…read more Value for money: 4 Cleanliness: 4 Food Quality: N/A Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 4 Thank you, Come Again?: 4 It feels like you're in apocalyptic world or in the "Mad Max" movie for those who are familiar with the film. Night Lights hosts a lantern event at the Utah Motorsports Campus (UMC) three times a year. It's about a 45 min drive from SLC. The tickets sell out fast so I would recommend getting on the waitlist as soon as you know you're going to go. https://www.nightlightsevent.com/utah Pro Tip: If you're going to attend this event, keep in mind the following things. -Bring portable outdoor chairs and blankets. It's going to be a bit of a wait before the lanterns launch and you'll need to pick a spot in the crowd to set up a mini camp. Outside food and drinks are not allowed but they do have food trucks and s'mores kits onsite. -Group Setting. It's better to attend this event in a group (2+ or more) if you plan on lighting the lanterns. It's possible to light it yourself but it's quite a challenge if there are strong winds. -Dress accordingly to the weather and bring insect repellent. Depending on the area, there could be swarms of mosquitos and gnats. It will start off hot in the day but can get colder throughout the night. Some people will bring outdoor blankets. -Arrive early. Plan to arrive two hours early before the lanterns are lit up. This allows you to pick a spot to camp and get dinner from the various food trucks. -Central Location. When setting up camp, I would reccomend being somewhere in the middle of the lantern lighting area to maximize light impact. If you're located on the edges, then your pictures won't turn out as well in comparison to being in the middle. Even though your pictures will turn out better, you're also more at risk of breathing in the fire pit smoke and getting hit by the lanterns that are released by other groups. TL;DR (Beware) Central location = Better pictures, greater risk of breathing in black smoke and getting hit by fire-lit lanterns. -Dirty and Black Smoke. For those with asthma or sensitivity to smoke, I would highly recommend to skip this event. Night Lights sell "s'mores kits" which comes with a fire pit, a bag of marshmallows, box of Graham crackers, and skewers. These fire pits are fun BUT cause a lot of smoke in the area and can make it hard to breathe for some people. (See attached picture) -Allow the lantern to completely fill up with air before letting it go. There were soooo many people who released their lanterns too early and the lanterns ended up floating on the ground and almost burning people. I'm pretty certain some people may have actually gotten burnt but fortunately my group didn't get impacted and there was medical staff on-site. Overall, the pictures are memorable and the event turned out fun. I would recommend attending it at least once in your lifetime. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the Salt City sips and trips.

    I love this venue for a great weekend day activity. It is fun to try your hand a betting the…read moreponies at least once a summer. They are only open for about 8 weeks each summer, so you need to be prompt when planning a visit so as not to miss out. We've tried the VIP tickets in the past but found that the air flow is restricted and waiter service is woefully lacking for food delivery. We've had better luck with general seating under the canopy where we can get our own drinks (sometimes the line is long) and choose our food options depending on our desire of the day. The races run back to back, but there is a wait in between that extends the day out. The parking is a first come first served grassy lot that can be challenging to exit when the event is over. All in all, I love to come to the races and walk away with small losses for the trade off of great fun.

    No one EVER answers the phone in the racing office, I'm not sure how they even run the place.

Probably upwards of 30 phone calls during business hours and being transferred back and forth between main office and racing office. Needless to say the reason I went there was a total waste of time for me and a huge let down simply because I couldn't get a living person on the phone to ask one question to. Website 'Contact Us' didn't work either.
