[Bmcu] tech session this Saturday 1/12: Kirkham Motorsports

[Tony Earl]

I am familiar with Kirkham Motorsports and thought directions might help!

Head south from SLC to Provo.Get off at University Parkway Exit #269 bearing
right or west.  It is the BYU/UVSC exit.  The one you would take to go to BYU
games, but you go west not east.Go right and head west to Geneva Road (3/10
mile).Turn left onto Geneva Road and head south.Go 1.6 miles to 1680 North in
Provo.  The road will bend slightly to the right and then sweep to the left
just before your get to the "T" intersection.  There is a Church on the left
just before 1680 North.  Turn left (East) onto 1680 North.Go east 3/10 of a
mile to a TKO.  It is on the right.  There is parking on both sides of the
road.  Park where you can!
Hope to see you all there!
