OCTANE FEST: TOP GUN AND FAIRGROUND PHOTOS

Due to the length of the article I am putting these photos in a gallery.

Octane Fest in Fallon is a celebration of speed and color. It is held in three different venues and two of the are Top Gun Raceway, located south of the town, as well as the Churchill County Fairgrounds, located near downtown.

In the event article I missed who won the Top Comp division at the drag strip. Well got word too late to include it that the two drivers that would have been in the final decided to skip that run due to the weather. There was some rain south of the city and it had an effect on the drag racing.

Posting the fastest time Sunday was Melissa Fedrick with a time of 6.678 seconds and a top speed of 203.58. However since both Wally Jacks and Steve Casner chose not to make their final runs the result is a tie between them even though Jacks is shown on the results as the champion.

Over at the Churchill County Fairgrounds there were three nights of activities. While Friday’s crowd was a bit down the grandstands were packed Saturday night. And fans enjoyed both the lower admission and concession prices.

Not shown in the report was a Saturday morning car show with all types of vehicles that also included a motorcycle burnout demonstration on the west end of town by the Walmart.

All in all it was a fun time for all concerned the the organizers, who also run Rattlesnake Raceway were pleased. The LARA president Chris Lumsden said their were a couple of items to be taken care of but considering it was the first year he’s been the promoter, he felt the event went very well.

So here are some of the shots I didn’t include in the article from Top Gun Raceway and the Churchill County Fairgrounds.
