After last week’s rains washed out all but one event this week promises good racing weather.

Racing preview for this week has a banquet of different events for almost any racing fan.

Locally Rattlesnake Raceway will be dark this Saturday due to a national shooting match at the gun club. The track and club share a hill and usually alternate weekends.

American Valley Speedway in Quincy will finally get its season going Saturday. Mud packing begins at 6 p.m. with a 7 p.m. start to the action.

Last year the track got a lot of new clay so it should be even faster and this week has a $1,000 to win purse for the IMCA Modifieds.

That same night over in Marysville the River Front MX Park is beginning its Saturday night series for motocross races.

On Sunday the Northern Nevada Kart Club will host a points race at Desert Park Raceway, located a quarter mile on the dirt extension of Lemmon Valley Drive. The action should begin around 10 a.m. and there are two heats as well as a main event for each class.
