RENO, NV (Jan. 19) — Hard to believe but the first month of the year is almost over. That means we’re not a week closer to more racing as tracks and series will be opening up. In our immediate area there are several car meets, a meeting of car clubs and two motorcycle groups as well as a ride.
CAR MEETS:
• Fallon Cars & Coffee has a meet starting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Telegraph Coffee & Cap. The location is 1805 W. Williams Avenue.
• Another fun event is Mudfest 2022 out at Chickadee Drive. There will be live music so a $5 donation is asked and, if all goes as planned, a lot of mud slinging by trucks and maybe even a car or two.
• Sunday starts at 10 a.m. when Sparks Cars & Coffee has its second meet of the month by Buffalo Wild Wings. With good weather there should be a larger turnout.
• The Nevada Car Coalition is having a meeting and group gathering. The board meeting is from 11 until noon when the gathering begins. Mimi’s Café, at 5090 Kietzke Lane, is the location and everyone should get a good lunch there.
• To the south Carson Cars & Coffee will be hosting a meet at 3300 U.S. Highway 50 East in Carson City.
