RACING (REGIONAL):
- REP Racing is planning on having a race at one of its three tracks this Sunday. Unfortunately the hot line wasn’t updated when this preview was posted so the best advice is to call 775-265-7223 or contact www.repracingmx.com.

New Year’s Day gates open at 6:30 a.m. as the Hangover Classic begins around 8 a.m. for all classes an there is even a team race. Good way to get the year started.
• For those just wanting a ride as well as helping people affected by the Camp Fire that wiped out Paradise and other places. So Chico Honda has organized a benefit ride on New Year’s Day.
Poker Run to benefit Camp Fire victims.
The four-wheel racing community can also celebrate the New Year. Over the hill Stockton’s Dirt Track is having its Racing into the New Year event.
Featured classes will be A-Mods, B-Mods, Bombers and B4 Cylinders. Should be a good time over there and a nice, if some what loud way to start the year.
