Saturday's event is planned to be far more ambitious than the role Park City played in the Tour of Utah last year. In 2009, the organizers started a stage of the race in Park City with three laps on Main Street before riding out of the city. Paap said Main Street was closed down to drivers for approximately one hour last year. Alison Butz, the executive director of the Historic Park City Alliance, a business group centered on Main Street, predicts a "fantastic event" on Saturday. She hopes the spectators stay on Main Street after the races to shop and dine, indicating she expects strong sales. "The merchants are going to be glad this is a last big shebang," Butz said.

"A lot of people were concerned because they bought those recreation properties to get away from it all," Duchesne County Community Development Director Mike Hyde said. Opponents were also concerned that ChamTech would use the facility for training militia groups, he said. "There is a growing number of militias and paramilitary groups and they were concerned that those might also take place," Hyde said. There was standing room only at the meeting when the Duchesne County Planning Commission heard the application this month. "People think it should probably be located out in the West Desert somewhere, where they already have military installations," Hyde said. Coalville Mayor Duane Schmidt said he is unsure what impact the training facility might have on the North Summit area. "The economics is probably good for Coalville City, but the tranquility of life for our friends and neighbors down in Henefer and Echo needs to be considered also," Schmidt said. ChamTech officials said they chose the East Side of Summit County as a location because the terrain resembles some of the most dangerous battlefields in the world. ChamTech Enterprises President Eric Hernandez said the company will not train militia members. "Everybody we train will have to pass through a local, state and federal background check," Hernandez said. "They must have some kind of legitimate reason to go through our training."
