    RENO, NV (Dec. 26) — This week winter storms hit the Reno area and left the roads, well a bit more than icy. Still a few diehards showed up the Sparks Cars & Coffee meet.  Only a couple of them were on hand when this reporter arrived around 11 although one left a couple of minutes earlier. Both owners that were present have very different cars.  Probably the best equipped for the weather we’re having is Kendra Marie, who owns a 2005 Subaru Legacy.  “It’s all stock right now but we’re doing a JDM EJ205 swap and it’s also a

    RENO, NV (Dec. 3) — Due to the length of the first part there were three interviews I wanted to include so it was necessary to split the article. This part first deals with a management change at a popular Northern California track.  The next interview is how live streaming can help short tracks. Finally the last interview is with an announcer for several tracks and why emphasis on youth helps the sport’s future.  With that in mind we’ll start with a track that is closest to Reno and has hosted races that many will look forward to. Namely Silver
