Salt Lake City, Utah - It's a 55-kilometre drive from the Porsche dealer in Salt Lake City, Utah, to the 7.25-km racetrack at Miller Motorsports Park.

If you live in the area and have the inclination (and the wherewithal), you could order and pick up a 2009 Porsche 911 from Dave Strong's Porsche on State Street South, cruise through downtown traffic to the I-80 and Highway 36, and arrive at the track in less than an hour.

There you could spend the entire day thrashing the bejeezus out of your new car, standing on the gas, punishing the brakes, and defying the laws of physics as you pilot your 911 at breathtaking speeds through the 23 corners at this, the longest racetrack in the U.S.

Then you could enjoy a relaxed drive home, maybe picking up some car shampoo and polish on the way, followed by a pleasant evening buffing your p-car in the driveway.
