RENO (Sept 6) – Racing preview for this week is a varied menu even though the season her and else where is winding down. There are live events as well as much to view on TV and the Internet.
The weekend kicks off at the Battle Mountain Raceway as the track hosts its annual Silver Kart Classic Friday and Saturday. This is probably the biggest Outlaw Kart show in Northern Nevada and drivers from California, Oregon, Nevada and Idaho are expected.

REPORTER’S NOTE: Last week You Tube had the Cup race from Darlington live but don’t know if they will do the same for the Richmond race. However you can watch the event, delayed of course, about a day or two later on www.youtube.com.
Over on the Internet, www.fanschoice.tv has several races on Saturday.
Starting at 7 a.m. it’s the Unadilla MX from New Berlin, New York followed at 8 a.m. by the American Flat Track race from Williams Grove half-mile.
Then starting at 4:30 p.m. they have two short track races starting with Myrtle Beach and the Salina High Banks.
CBS Sports begins Sunday at 10:30 a.m. with a DTM race from Nurburgring and at 12:30 p.m. airs a World Challenge event. Then at 1:30 p.m. NBC has more Global Rallycross from Seattle.
Fanschoice.tv has two events to stream on Sunday starting at 7 a.m. with more action from the Unadilla MX followed at 10 a.m. with a NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series race.
That’s it for this weekend but as usually I’d recommend getting out and seeing a race live. There is nothing like the excitement, speed and color of a live event not to mention the scent of power.
