But he’s also a long time fan of racing and drives an IMCA Modified when he’s home from Europe.  At last week’s I-80 Challenge event, at the Fernley 95A Speedway, Plake shared his opinions of a class he feels the local oval track community needs. For the past couple of years he’s been talking about breathing new life into the defunct Bomber Class. A division he feels would increase the car counts as well as put more fans into the stands. “I know from my history, that’s how

So I brought it up a few years back. This was when the Wild West Tour had run its course here.” A
