Utes Enjoy Taste of Life in Fast Lane
So far, the Utes have made the most of their trip to sunny Daytona Beach, Fla.
Not only did they enjoy some free time on the beach today, in advance of their game against Ole Miss in the Glenn Wilkes Classic on Friday, but they visited the nearby Daytona 500 Experience, where they toured the famous speedway that hosts the Daytona 500 stock-car race, rode in pace cars and competed in a pit-stop simulation.
"It's bigger than I imagined," guard Lawrence Borha said. "Seeing it on TV, it doesn't look this big."
The Utes broke into three groups of five for the pit-stop challenge, with the winning team clocking under 20 seconds. Then, they took rides around the course. "One-hundred-eighty miles-per-hour around this track, I couldn't imagine doing that," Borha said. "One-hundred-and-twenty-five miles-per-hour was fast enough for me."
