Post RIP: Larry Miller

Mr. Miller was the owner of the Utah Jazz, a car dealership franchise, and many other ventures in SLC.

He was a big time car enthusiast with a nice collection of GT40's and Cobras to name a few. His latest project that bears his name

Larry at the track he made, Miller Motorsports park in front of one of the many modded Mustangs they run there.


Part of his collection at the museum.


His usual face, except when a bad call was made against the Jazz :P He was an extremely wealthy man but he remained humble and charitable

He probably wasn't limited to his own tracks, either. The Bonneville Salt Flats are just a short distance way, and are the home of some of the fastest cars in the world. Rocket and jet-powered cars, there, have exceeded 600 MPH......on land.

But, none of that matters now.........RIP.
