Everything from boats, landscaping, recreation and a whole lot more. But part of the show is devoted to both off-road and motorsports, which was a bit light this time around. However one local track, Fernley 95A Speedway, had a booth and brought a brand new modified to display.   “I think it’s going to be the best year we’ve had since Dan Simpson has had the track,” track manager Matt Ramthun said. “We’re getting a lot of

A decision that turned out to be profitable as he collected the winner’s prize. “We’re down here testing this crate for Vegas, so I think we picked the right track to do that,” Paul Stone said after post race tech. “It’s the

    FERNLEY (Oct. 12) — Over the past several years the once vibrant Pro Stock Class has been diminished to almost nothing at some tracks or disappeared at others. During the Fernley 95A Speedway’s two-day shootout, John Feyder and Gordy Russell, along with Travis Petersen announced a new effort to revive the class.   “Gordy and I were sitting in the office and talking about why the pro stocks were going down and what we can do to bring them back,” Feyder said. “We got to thinking, ‘you know we should have special races for these pros stocks.’ And rather than

    LOVELOCK — During the Frontier Days races this reporter had a chance to interview the series promoter Mike Scott, who is also the president of the Winnemucca Regional Raceway. He’s the force behind this new series that’s causing big jumps in car counts at Northern Nevada tracks.   Although the I=8- series is new, its history goes back several years. “Dan Fitzgerald came up with the idea about 10-years ago but it never really took off,” Scott said. So I brought it up a few years back. This was when the Wild West Tour had run its course here.” A
