REGIONAL RACING:
- Although we’re getting close racing has a week to go before things get rolling in this area. Racing Preview did get an update from Lovelock Speedway.
Due to the recent racing they’ve not had a chance to prep the track so the scheduled play day has been moved to March 23. Don’t know at this time but other tracks in the region may also be affected.

• Over the hill REP Racing hasn’t updated its hotline since last week. So the best advice if one wants to get in some motocross practice this week is to call the hotline at 1-775-265-7223 before heading over there.
