About this event
Advanced Wide Open Wednesday (WoW+)
Advanced Wide Open Wednesday (WoW+) is an upgraded version of our standard WoW program presented by Utah Motorsports Campus that allows experienced enthusiasts to drive their street or race-prepared cars at speed on our racetrack in a controlled, non-competitive environment with limited passing zones.
Cars are released onto the track strategically, allowing drivers to enjoy extended open-lapping sessions while sharpening their driving skills in a safer, controlled atmosphere. Passing is permitted ONLY in designated passing zones with a point-by from the lead driver. Precautions are in place to keep you and everyone else safe while creating one of the most exciting driving experiences available.
WoW+ is designed for experienced drivers who are comfortable driving at higher speeds with controlled traffic on track.
