• This week’s racing calendar features a unique form of motorsport, Trials. It’s not about speed but the rider’s control as they negotiate various obstacles.
This Sunday, 8/17, the American Valley Speedway hosts its annual Fair Races in conjunction with the Plumas County Fair.
Saturday evening is when the Northern Nevada Kart Club will stage it’s annual night race. While the heats begin in the late afternoon, most of the mains are run under the lights.
The goal is earning the least amount of penalty points when a rider completes what ever course they are on. Put a foot on the ground or get stopped and a point is added, so the one with the lowest points is the winner.
The Boreal Ridge Trials will be staged at the Boreal Ski Resort, just west of Donner Summit on I-80. Beginners and vintage bikes competing on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. while the advanced riders ride on Sunday with a 10:15 start time.
