Racing preview for this week has a major event in our area plus the start of another racing season as well as what can be seen on TV and the Internet.

The biggest biggest here is the annual National Championship Air Races, it’s the only place on the planet where six classes of aircraft race each other.

In addition to the races there’s an air show with many acts as well as static displays of both military and civilian aircraft. The headliners this year are the Flying Blue Angels.

Practice on Saturday runs from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. and on Sunday gates open at 6 a.m. with racing following practice sessions. Camping is allowed on a first come first served basis.

Saturday, starting at 6 p.m., is the season ending event at Fernley 95A Speedway. The track won’t have its annual 2-day show and after the races the champions will be awarded their trophies.

So it seems there won’t be an awards banquet and the future of this area’s longest dirt track seems to be in doubt. Hope to have more on this later.

Another track ending its season is American Valley down in Quincy. The action begins at 7 p.m. and any championships will be secured when the final checkered flag flies.
