The second race at Rattlesnake was quite an exciting night for all, especially for some drivers. Most of the photographs are at the end of the article after the results. FALLON (April 15) – Rattlesnake Raceway hosted its traditional Easter Saturday races this weekend. The pits were packed with around 87 cars including Sprints, Dwarf Cars and the Nevada Pro Stock Association. Before racing started the Pro Stock field made its way to the front straight. The track was honoring the memory of long time racer, builder and supporter Sabio Gonzalez. He was a fixture at Rattlesnake for many years

Racing preview for this week has three two-day events in our region plus events across the country and overseas. Just about any race fan can find something they will like. First and foremost, Lovelock Speedway has canceled its opening night schedule for this Saturday. The reason is that Winnemucca Regional Raceway is starting their season with a double header. The events sponsor Motel T Hotel and Casino even has rates for those going out there. Gates open at 10 a.m. with racing beginning at noon Saturday and Sunday. As an added incentive Saturday’s IMCA race is $500 to win while

A little late getting this one out but here it is. Next time should be better. FALLON (April 1) – Rattlesnake Raceway began it season Saturday. The pits were full of cars, 7 classes, as well as Outlaw Karts so it was going to be a long night. Headlining the night was the Nevada Pro Stock Association opening their traveling series as well. And a surprise driver won the feature. “It was good, started dead last, think we had 15 cars wound up taking the lead with probably 10-laps to go.

FALLON (Oct. 8) – Rumble at Rattlesnake was a two-day affair to make up for the loss of the Two-Day Shootout that 95A Speedway had scheduled. Due to the low car count it was decided to use the format like the Dirt Track Championships use. A driver’s combined finishes both days would determine their final position and what payout they would receive.

Another action packed evening on the largest oval track in this region. FERNLEY (Aug. 27) – 95A Speedway not only had three of its regular classes running Saturday but also the Nevada Pro Stock Association’s series. The series was running the eighth round of its 10-round series. That was the Gordon Russell Senior Memorial, which is the last Nevada Pro Stock Association round that paid $1,000 to win. And the winner would earn a special six-foot tall trophy. “I was trying hard and it was taking everything we had to stay with him (Jay Sears),” Jesse Gonzalez said after winning

Another night of racing at the Northern California oval set in the trees. QUINCY, CALIF. (Aug. 6, 2016) – American Valley Speedway hosted not only a regular points race but also the final round of the 4-race NAPA Gold Series Tour. This series alternates between here and Diamond Mountain Speedway in Susanville. After winning the IMCA main Chris Neiman said, “The track was great but somebody kept getting through the water over there and it gets slick when you hit it so I tried to go higher and miss it. I figured I was going to get him (Bill Pearson)
