    Rattlesnake Raceway - Miller wins 99th IMCA victory.

    A little late getting this out but had to clarify something. All set so her it is sorry for the delay.   (FALLON, APRIL 16) – Rattlesnake Raceway was blessed with spring like weather, a good track and car counts for its second points race of the season. And this time one driver dominated the IMCA Modified main, which is usually pretty competitive. “The car really felt good, I mean the track had some grip to it but I think this shock package we got made it feel like I had a lot more grip,” Robert Miller said after winning

    EPA Editorial

    This reporter has never done an editorial on racing but this time I’m going to make an exception. Please read this carefully and help save our sport. Over the past year this reporter has heard rumblings about the EPA’s attempt to essentially restrict the conversion of a vehicles originally designed for on-street use to a racing vehicle. After receiving the latest issue of Racing Promotion Monthly, a publication for the short track industry, I decided to write this editorial. And for those that don’t know people involved in short track racing, fans or drivers, it concerns all types of racing

    This weekend Mother Nature went crazy but the track overcame the challenge and had a great afternoon of racing. FERNLEY (April 9) – 95A Speedway’s second race of the season was quite a mix.

After winning that feature, once it got restarted, Mike White said, “Second in a row for IMCA. The rain was what I needed.” Have to thank Megan, my family and everybody that helps me out on this

    This gallery is just some of the photos I didn’t use in the article about the season opener. 95A Speedway’s opener was a good afternoon of racing. Even though the car count was a bit down the drivers still gave a good account of themselves. Now the at Easter weekend is past us the count should increase as well as the crowd numbers. Even the classes with the fewest cars showed speed and the Pure Stock winner, while unchallenged had to over come challenges his car gave him.
