1 British Field Day is HERE! A Chapter of the North American MGB Register A Zone of the Vintage Triumph Register British Motor Club of Utah June 2013 Volume 24 Number 6 June nd Annual BRITISH FIELD DAY 9am to 3pm, Saturday, June 15, 2013 A major highlight of the British Motor Club of Utah social season is the annual British Field Day held at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. The cars, some familiar, others truly unique, are a sight to behold; especially when seen enmasse at a beautiful setting like Liberty Park. You can t beat a British car and motorcycle show on the grass and under the trees! Of course the sights and sounds of the road course are a favorite. LBC s are just made for this kind of fun. Try the course. It s non-competitive (kind of) just try it for fun or see what your best time can be. There s no charge and you can run the course as often as you like. It s open to British cars, motorcycles and trucks. Photos are from last year s 2012 BFD
