RENO, NV (Jan. 11) — Once again weather is playing a big roll in what will happen this weekend. As a result this will be another short preview article.
CAR MEETS:
• Reno Cars & Coffee hit a milestone Sunday and Lance Freitas posted this. Good for them.
They are supposed to have a meet Sunday starting at 10 a.m. and the location is the Human Bean Coffee stand by the intersection of Moana and Keitzke Lanes. Good freeway access to this site.
• When this was posted there was no word if Fallon Cars & Coffee was going to have a meet or not. Best advice is to check their Face Book page.
PRACTICE AND RACING (MOTORCYCLES):
• Big news to day was that the Oakland round of Supercross had been postponed and not just canceled. Well good news as the races have rescheduled for Saturday the 18th.
The problem is that the Dirt Works crews were unable to build a track like they did in Anaheim. Now we need to hope Mother Nature doesn’t throw another spanner in the works.
• Latest word is that both Riverfront MX and Prairie City will be closed this weekend. I’m guessing it will be the same for E Street MX Park as well.
• MMX hopes to have practice from 9 until 3 p.m. Thursday but has their fingers crossed for Saturday and Sunday. Best bet for all these tracks is to check their Face Book pages before loading up.
• Fernley NinetyfiveA Motor Sports Complex won’t have practice on its motocross track this weekend.
RACING (NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL):
• We are still pretty much in the Re-Run or Highlight Zone. But there are some races going on.
• To the east in Tulsa the annual Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals run through Saturday evening. One can see the action on www.floracing.com. Saturday’s finals will be very intense.
• Down at the Cocopah Speedway in Arizona the Winter Nationals run through Saturday. Those races can be seen on www.imca.tv.
• Overseas the Dakar Rally is still going on and will go through Saturday. The Peacock network has a daily update at 6:30 p.m. each day or one can watch the highlights on www.youtube.com.
• For you early birds www.motortrendondemand.com starting at 2:20 a.m. Saturday has a 24 Hour Series. This time it’s the 24 Hours of Dubai.
That’s going to do it for this week. Weather is all over the place so be careful out there. Hope to see all next weekend
