Nitro World Games On-site Activities

If you somehow manage to get tired of watching intense motorsports, there are plenty of other activities for you to check out at Nitro World Games. Some of the leading brands in motorsport entertainment and engineering are exhibiting at the Nitro World Games this year. With only two days during this event, we recommend visiting Yokohama’s exhibit. Stop by the booth to check out the car featured in Travis Pastrana’s 2018 movie Action Figures 2. Yokohama will be showcasing a wide assortment of bikes, cars, and trucks and will be organizing meet and greets with Travis Pastrana and Bilko. Make sure to come hang out with the guys and get a few photos in-between events.

After Nitro World Games

There are two things you need after spending all day at the Nitro World Games: a good bite to eat, and a good place to grab a drink. Look no further than Green Pig Pub. Located just a few blocks away from Rice Eccles stadium, Green Pig Pub offers great food and great beer at a prime location in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Be sure to sit on the upper-level patio to enjoy an unbeatable view of Salt Lake City in the fall. Check out this article for more information on how to spend an evening after a day filled with gripping motorsports.

If a bar isn’t your scene, then we recommend Red Iguana. Red Iguana is the premiere stop for Mexican cuisine. With both locations within blocks of each other in Western Salt Lake City, Red Iguana is worth the drive, and worth the wait. Here are our menu recommendations, plus a few other tips and tricks to keep in mind before making your trip. Tables fill up fast, so get there early and hungry.
