And for us at this site, well it’s time to catch our breath, take a weekend off even as we start to look forward into 2015.   Over the past year falling car and rider counts have taken their toll yet it’s not all doom and gloom. As far as motocross goes losing the fall series was a blow, mainly do to falling rider counts. It takes entries for a promoter to pay the expenses of putting on a race and if they aren’t there,

    Now that Christmas is over the local shops will probably be having sales. One of them, Reno KTM on Rock Boulevard has been having sales that run through New Year’s Eve. This is a great opportunity for any rider to pick up new gear for the coming season of riding and racing. It’s slim pickings for TV this weekend but there are some motorsport shows that will provide some relief from the marathon of basketball and bowl games. MAVTV is picking up a lot of the slack and they start Christmas day at 1:30 p.m. with Dirty 30 followed at

    SPARKS, NV — Winning a championship in racing is never easy. It takes commitment, a whole lot of effort and support from people that help the driver as well as sponsors. And even then winning a title can be illusive.   However when the recent Nitto Tire Ultra 4 Nationals ended at Wild West Motorsport Park, one local, Dave Schneider, achieved this goal and won the Legends class championship. And he probably had the shortest commute home, Spanish Springs, as most of his fellow competitors towed in from other states. His involvement with off road sports began 15-years ago when
