A few years ago Norcal Rock Racing took over VORRA (Valley Off Road Racing Association.). Now new owners bought VORRA and are breathing new life into this series.
Years ago VORRA would have three to four desert races in Nevada during the summer including on during Labor Day weekend. Well the new owners will be in Reno to discuss their plans for the series so those interested should attend the gathering.
The meeting is on Saturday, Jan.19 at 450 Sinclair Street in Reno. For further information please check their webpage at, www.facebook.com/vorra.
