    Rattlesnake Raceway

    FALLON, NV (June 16) – Nice late spring night set the stage for a night of racing at Rattlesnake Raceway. After a good start the IMCA modified was a very different race than was expected.

Too many yellows that’s for sure and that’s never good when you’re leading. I’m just glad I’m feeling comfortable in my car again and its been a couple of years since I’ve felt that comfortable.” Then

The two-day show includes a Saturday night shootout as well as some foreign drivers.What this sport lacks for speed it more than makes up in the challenges all the competitors face with steep inclines to negotiate, side hills where rollovers are a constant challenge not to mention getting around in some very tight spaces. This year promoter Jessie Haines and his team made some very challenging courses and there is a set for each type of car. Each team is composed of a driver and observer,
