    STEAD (JUNE 25) – Desert Park Raceway was visited this weekend by the KPX series. And hosting the third round of this year’s series was the Northern Nevada Kart Club. Unlike last year’s visit only the groups in the series raced but that brought around 106 drivers to the track. Another difference between last and this year is that it didn’t rain but was hot. Anytime a race like this visits a club’s home track the locals want to defend their turf and this time two club members won their main events. And one of them is among the youngest

    A bit under the weather on Monday so this was slightly delayed. FERNLEY (June 11) – The final round of the Battle Born MX spring series was highlighted with rain and wind. Despite this over 200 riders were on hand, some to just race while others were after points and maybe clinching a title. While the overall turnout might have been a bit higher some classes have very good turnouts. In fact the 125/250 Beginner gate had 26 at the gate for the first moto and 23 for the second. Another good sign for the future was the Pee Wee

    Battle Born Moto Fest

    Mustang – The Battle Born Moto Fest returned to the Wild West Motorsports Park this weekend. Unlike last year it was a two-day affair with two very different events.

On Sunday there was the Wild West Hard Enduro, a race that went for 90 minutes and the course was anything but easy. After starting on the main straight the riders went up the hill, down the ski jump and headed for the rocks, but unlike Ultra 4, they

However earning that spot also meant he had to raise the funds so he can afford the trip. One of this site’s sponsors PJandCo, located at 1590 S. Wells Avenue, is
