RENO, NV (Feb. 5) — Super Bowl Sunday is coming and that means more racing can be seen on TV and the Internet. Not much in the way of car meets this weekend but that will change.
NOTE: Am running slightly behind this week.
CAR MEETS:
• Sparks Cars and Coffee meets at 10 a.m. Sunday. Location is the Starbucks located off Disk Drive.
RACING (4-WHEEL):
• Starting next month Top Gun Dragstrip is joining forces with two other tracks as part of the Pacific Triple Crown championship.
RACING & PRACTICE (MOTOCROSS):
• With the flooding over the hill REP Racing MX will have all of its tracks closed this weekend. Apparently that also includes the Sandbox MX in Fernley.
• E Street MX Park posted they’ll probably be closed as well
• MMX hadn’t posted yet so best bet is to check they before heading out.
RACING (NATIONAL):
• On Friday, Feb. 7, www.mavtv at 6:30 p.m. shows the next round of the AMA Arenacross. I’m guessing they do that again on Saturday when the final round is run at Prescott Valley, Arizona.
• Saturday the AMA Supercross series moves to Tampa, Florida. The Peacock network will carry it and at 10:30 the air Race Day Live and at 1 p.m. the race.
That’s it for this weekend. Stay safe out there and next week racing begins in earnest.
