Another week of varied motorsports for the racing fan, including some in this region.
One of the biggest events this weekend will happen at Livfast Exit 28, located east of Sparks. The track is hosting what probably will be the only night motocross this summer.
The prize racers will be trying to earn at the Livfast Motocross on Saturday.
There will be practice sessions on Friday from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m. Then practice resumes at 3 p.m. Saturday with the first motos slated to start right after that, as they’ll race into the night.
The track is located off Exit 28 on I-80 east of Sparks. Take the exit then go over the railroad tracks.
Livfast Exit 28 will have some fast hard racing Saturday evening.
Also on Friday, the Lovelock Speedway will be in action staging another of its points races. South of Fallon the Top Gun Raceway will have $5 Fridays for those drag racers that want to test and tune their machines.
Top Gun Raceway will host the 10th round of its ET series on Saturday.
Then at 9:30 a.m. Saturday area drag racers will begin to time in for Top Gun’s 10th round of its ET series that also includes the Junior Dragsters.
Fernley 95A Speedway will host another points race this Saturday.
At 6 p.m the Fernley 95A Speedway stages another of its points races with the car classes and it’s the next $1,000 to win night for the Pro Stocks. To entertain the fans there will also be chain races.
