RENO, NV (Dec. 23) – Racing Preview for this Christmas weekend is mostly in he re-run zone but there are a couple of things happening. Apparently there may be a storm headed out way so be sure to check for any live event that’s listed.
CAR MEETS:
• This Sunday at 10 a.m. by Buffalo Wild Wings Sparks CaRs & Coffee is having it’s second meet of the month.
• At that same time Carson Cars & Coffee is having their second meeet at the month by the Dutch Brothers Coffee.
MOTOCROSS PRACTICE:
• When this was published the hoped for January 3rd motocross at Fernley has not been approved by the town. Have to wait and see what happens but as of now it won’t happen. Hopefully that might change.
• MMX Racing in Marysville hopes to have practice from noon until dark on Christmas Eve. Both the sand and kid’s tracks will be used. However they ask that riders call the hotline just to make sure.
Saturday from 9 until 2 p.m. practice is on the main, sand and kid’s tracks then from 9 until 3 Sunday on those three tracks plus he vintage one.
Once again weather could be a deciding factor so be sure to check the hotline at 530-419-5200.
• REP Racing, also at Marysville will have practice Christmas Eve from noon until 5 p.m. at Riverfront. With the storm coming in all three tracks, Riverfront, E Street and Prairie City will be closed foer the weekend.
However this could change depending on the situtaTion so just in case, if one wants to practice be sure to call the hotline at 1-775-265-7223.
• And sadly I’ve not heard any word about the motocross track at 95 Motor Sports Complex being open again. Something else we can hope for.
