SEASON REVIEW: NORTHERN NEVADA KART CLUB

November 8, 2016 Author: Dan McGee
Comments Off
Season in review is when we can look back at this past year and honor those that have raced as well as the champions. First recap is for the Northern Nevada Kart Club and their successful season. Stock Moto 125 is the fastest class the club has. These karts use a 125cc motor hitched to a six-speed gearbox that not only delivers speed but it puts the driver under some pretty strong G loads in the corners. Mike Faker won the first event back in April followed by Dean Andrews, Jeff Wamre and Jeremy Kay. After that Kay ran

Comments Off
STEAD (OCT. 16) – Desert Park Raceway closed out its racing season as the Northern Nevada Kart Club hosted the final round of the KPX Karting Championship series. To say it was a bit soggy would be an understatment. After the preliminary heat races the grids were set and Jr. 2 LO206 class was first on the slippery, wet track. By that time the rains that were absent from the qualifying sessions had return and were steady. As a safety measure flagman Dave Brandt moved off the stand he usually is on and stood by the track close to Turn

RUMBLE AT RATTLESNAKE

October 12, 2016 Author: Dan McGee
Comments Off
FALLON (Oct. 8) – Rumble at Rattlesnake was a two-day affair to make up for the loss of the Two-Day Shootout that 95A Speedway had scheduled. Due to the low car count it was decided to use the format like the Dirt Track Championships use. A driver’s combined finishes both days would determine their final position and what payout they would receive. There was also a twist to the rules so an IMCA or Pro Stock driver could take the roof of their racer off and go “topless.” And a few did that exact thing. The Hobby Stock main
