    RENO, NV (Oct. 26) — Much going on this weekend, especially with Halloween on Monday. There is also a bunch more racing as well including the last oval track event in our region.

And there were many.  There of course was an import line, more than one actually.   Close by was a new Ford Bronco parked next to a Pontiac Fiero. Quite a comparison between both
