RENO, NV (Dec.21) — Finally it’s here, Christmas weekend. For race fans that means green flags will start flying next weekend even though we’re still in the Re-Run Zone.
So to start this reporter wants to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas, a Blessed Hanukah and a very Happy New Year. Have to thank Moto-Source for this graphic.
CAR MEETS:
• As it is Christmas weekend and the fifth weekend of the month nothing is scheduled. However might want to check as every now and then Carson Cars & Coffee has a pop up event. Would probably happen on Friday so keep check the Face Book page for various groups.
PRACTICE: (MOTORCYCLES):
• Signups for the 2023 season are open at Battle Born Motocross. Their website is www.battlebornmx.com.
• Locally the MX track at Fernley 95A Motorsports probably had its final practice for the year on Wednesday. The track will be closed Christmas weekend and it appears the same will happen on New Year’s weekend.
• Looking over the hill Riverfront has practice from 9 until 2 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The track is closed on Christmas.
- There was no mention of Prairie City so I’m guessing that track is closed for Christmas weekend.
• MMX Racing has a two-part schedule. Friday and Saturday from 9 until 2 p.m. they will have practice. But on Christmas day the track is closed.
- Once Christmas has passed the track will have six days of practice from the 26th through January 2nd. Good way to work off the turkey dinner.
• Another track with an extended schedule is E-Street MX Park. They have a MX Clinic Thursday and practice from 9 until 2 p.m. Friday but are closed Christmas weekend.
Starting next Tuesday there is another MX Clinic with practice, from 9 until 2p.m. Thursday through Saturday. The track is closed on New Year’s Day.
RACING:
• We’re still mired in the Re-Run Zone. Best advice is to check out what www.youtube.com has. Another source that will go every day with past races is www.mavtv.com and one might want to check out www.floracing.com as well.
That ends this week’s Racing Preview. Short yes but we have a very special holiday weekend this time. In closing, want to wish all of you a safe and happy weekend. I’ll leave you with my eCard for this year.
