Racing Preview for this week highlights a new event as well as racing in our area, over in California and includes what’s on TV as well as being streamed over the Internet.

First and foremost are the Outlaw Motorcycle Flat Track races at Fuji Park on Saturday.

The schedule is a bit different from the poster so here is the latest.

Gates open at noon, riders sign in and meet at 2:30 p.m. then practice begins at 3 p.m. The afternoon heats start at 5 with the mains following at 6 p.m.

Then at 6:45 p.m. there is a final pro practice followed at 7 by the opening ceremonies and pro races begin at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at www.visitcarsoncity.com or at the gate. The adult price is $15 for the early purchase and $20 at the gate.

Late Saturday afternoon, probably around 3 p.m. is when the Northern Nevada Kart Club will stage its annual night race. While the first heat races start before sundown the rest of the heats and mains are under the lights and many drivers decorate their karts with lights.

For those motocross riders wishing some throttle therapy Livfast Exit 28 will have practice sessions from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Other riders and desert racers will compete in the 20th anniversary Las Vegas to Reno race put on by Best in the Desert. Racing begins Friday with an overnight stop in Tonopah then resumes Saturday with the finishers arriving at the Q&D pit in Dayton sometime after noon.
