Comments Off
SPARKS (Nov. 30) – Several classes in the Northern Nevada Kart Club are very competitive. Among them is the TAG Masters class and this year the battle for that championship was between two brothers, defending champion Steve Ryckebosch and his younger brother Mike. “Steve and I are 55 and 54-years old but we are the same age for about two and a half weeks. And out of all us four brothers we are the most competitive with each other,” Mike Ryckebosch said. “Probably because we’re so close in age.” Joining them in kart racing are brothers Randy, the oldest,

November 17, 2014 Author: Dan McGee
Comments Off
SPARKS (Nov.17) – Any shop in this area that services the go-kart community will face challenges, especially in the winter. It’s because they operate in a niche market connected to a seasonal sport. Right now Nevada Kart Sport is the only shop of this type in the area. And despite the season the owner, Rodney Rivera is committed to the survival of his business. The shop is a dream come true for him. “In 2011 I bought all Motor Machine Supply’s inventory, we moved in and started paying rent there,” he said. “It took us a while to get

SPARKS DRIVER WINS ULTRA 4 TITLE

November 10, 2014 Author: Dan McGee
Comments Off
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

WINNEMUCCA RANCH ROAD (Nov. 2) – After a two-year absence the desert racers of MRANN returned to the Moon Rocks area. For years it’s been the site of their traditional Halloween weekend event and was always a fun event.

The day was also time for the young lions to shine as teenaged riders took three out of the top four finishing positions. Finishing first
