Today is practice day at Miller Motorsports Park, near Tooele, UT, where the 4th Bonneville Vintage GP and Concours will be held this weekend. The track is busy with racers making practice runs, shaking out their bikes and familiarizing themselves with the track.

The event is sponsored by the American Historic Motorcycle Racing Association (AHMRA). According to the brochure handed out at the track:

With well over 5,000 members, the American Historic Motocycle Racing Association is the recognized leader in classic motorcycle racing in North America, and one of the premier vintage racing associations in the world.

Racing on Saturday and Sunday will include the "Battle of the CB-160s," vintage and modern sidecars, "Battle of the Twins Formula 1 & Formula 3," "Sound of Thunder/Vintage Superbike Heavyweight," and more.

Check out the slideshow for some photos from today's warm-ups.
