Down in Southern Nevada the annual Mint 400 is run on Saturday. There is a parade through downtown Las Vegas I believe on Friday and off road legend Rod Hall will be the grand marshal

That schedule is; practice and qualifying sessions start at noon followed by the semi mains at 4 p.m. Then at 5:30 p.m. it’s time for the main events as the riders take to the dirt.

Years ago the Daytona 200 motorcycle race was the premier event at Daytona’s Bike Week. Since then its been eclipsed by the Supercross race.

However, like last year, the race will be live, or can be viewed later on www.fanschoice.tv. It will be broadcast live on Saturday, March 12 starting at 9:30 a.m. It’s a chance to watch the classic race in its 75th edition.
