    Fallon 250 - photos not used in the article.

    Fallon 250 gallery is made up of just some of the photographs I didn’t use in the article about the race.

A few hours later the Unlimiteds from the ULTRA4 series launched and raced into the night. This arrangement allowed the Ultra4 series to use this race as a west coast regional. This means the drivers can qualify for the Nationals in October with a good finish. All in all it was a full day of hard,

This time the event was a western regional for Ultra4 series and drivers could use it to qualify for their nationals in October. As a result, 50 Unlimiteds showed up plus around 70 for VORRA. The race was split for all the VORRA and limited classes raced into the daylight while the Ultra4 Unlimiteds raced
