RENO (June 22) – This week’s Racing Preview is a bit unusual but still full of events as well as listings for both TV and what will be streamed over the Internet.
First off there are two local events this weekend.
Women with Wheels Poster.
On Saturday, starting at 9:30 a.m. at the National Auto Museum is the Reno Women with Wheels car show, which is hosted by Teresa’s Garage Radio Show. Cars start staging at 8:30 a.m. with a 9:30 a.m. start time.
Although it’s slanted toward women anyone that likes cars is welcome to come by and see the cars as well as meet their owners.
KPX poster.
On Sunday the Northern Nevada Kart Club hosts round three of the KPX series. It will bring racers from California and could entirely fill the pits.
There is practice on Saturday then on Sunday, after practice qualifying begins around 11:45 a.m. with mains to start around 1:45 p.m. Due to flooding Lemmon Drive is still closed so here are the directions to avoid that area.
Detour directions to Sunday’s KPX event at Desert Park Raceway.
For the first time this season all the region’s oval tracks will be dark this weekend. However one north of us will be hosting a special race.
The Modoc Speedway in Cedarville, California is the site of Saturday’s Jim Russell Senior Memorial race for the Nevada Pro Stock Association and racing begins at 6 p.m. Along with that class there will be a Hobby Stock race and both groups will have a good pay off for the winner.

This race is the reason why Lovelock Speedway canceled its race slated for that same day.
Over the hill Riverfront is closed by E Street MX Park will be open, both the front and back tracks, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. for practice Saturday and Sunday. The same goes for the Motocross track at Prairie City.
