RACING (REGIONAL):
• On Saturday, starting around 8 a.m. there will be another Rally Cross. Location is the road course at 95A Speedway. To get to the road course use the road that goes by the oval and Motocross track.
• This Sunday Diamond Mountain Speedway ends the Lassen County Fair with races. The action begins at 6 p.m. and should be some pretty good racing. And there will be a demo derby after the races.
Last year the track lost several dates as the fairgrounds were used as a fire camp. This season they doubled the amount in the spring. As a result their next race won’t be until Halloween. So their fans hopefully will be there Sunday evening.

– And there is more this coming week as there will be MX Clinic Training for 65cc and up riders. Hours are from 9 until 2 p.m. at E Street MX.
