I went to Hyatt Place near the SLC airport for $94 a night.The Ford program had a special $99 rate at the Comfort Inn near the track when I went last year. Not sure if they still have that or not?

I stayed at the Comfort Inn for $99/night in mid-june of 2017. FPRS has a discount code on the website. Nice hotel, not fancy but clean. It's a 10-15 minute drive to the track from there. Much better than staying in Salt Lake. There aren't that many restaurants around; in particular if you're looking for fancy. People in Tooele are salt-of-the-earth types. I found Jim's Family Restaurant in Tooele to be good choice for home-style diner food. There's a Denny's by the Comfort Inn, but Jim's is a better choice.Will check into it, thank you! Were there any restaurants around it, or did you have to drive into SLC? We've never been to Utah, so this is all new to us
Best and hottest day ever!! Plenty of cold water at all the events though. Hats off to Ford Performance and our instructors for making us all better drivers and showing us just what our factory stock cars can to. Don't pass up this great school if you can swing it!I did the track attack yesterday. It was a blast - best day ever. We stayed at Hampton Inn in Tooele because I'm a Hilton guy. The Booneville micro-brewery on the other end of Main St has good beer and decent food. The Dairy Delight is straight out of my childhood and had good chocolate-vanilla swirl. ;)

We are flying out tonight for a 2-day Track Attack starting with the reception on Sunday and we are super excited! I'd imagine it'll be extremely hot and humid outside so I am going to pack a misting fan to be safe LOLBest and hottest day ever!! Plenty of cold water at all the events though.

I know that [MENTION=6571]Bossing[/MENTION] and [MENTION=28258]THX[/MENTION] went when I did last year (much more experienced track drivers than me). You might be bored in the morning, but the last couple track sessions allow passing. I think it would be worth the cost of a flight and hotel, even if you don't have enough reward points to cover them.Just curious: Are experienced drivers (like HPDE Instructors) attending the Track Attack, or is it geared more towards drivers new to or less experienced with track driving?
It must depend how the group looks to the instructors (or who the instructors are) because we were not allowed to pass when I was there in April.I know that [MENTION=6571]Bossing[/MENTION] and [MENTION=28258]THX[/MENTION] went when I did last year (much more experienced track drivers than me).

There was very little classroom/instruction time; most of the time was spent driving.

Lol, it's all good. Give & take... I regularly give pointbys nowadays in the Miata- on the straights that is.Back in the day, in the Instructor group, we used to have passing anywhere, with a point by. Very cool! Of course, I was usually the one giving the point by...except in the rain, when the big dogs sat it out, and I was in my element.
