Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

That's good news.

I just hope they figure out the importance of flush toilets.

Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

I just got an e-mail from Hooked on Driving.
They are taking the Sept 25-26 date.

I hope to have my 914 back out there with them again.

Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

Awesome news! I love that track and hope Lemons will return there next year! It will be good for the judges if they do also since we have a certain bribe in mind for that race.

Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

Here's hoping a full 24 hour race can be done there as planned.

I'll send entry fee bucks for a true 24 at Reno tomorrow.

If you're interested, I know a guy who could print up a craps layout with the penalties on it just like a real table. It'd probably be about a hundred bucks; he owes me a favor, but he ain't gonna come out of pocket for it on the dye sub materials and gaming cloth.

Lemme know if you want any follow up on that.

Re: Reno Fernley reopens!

I remember forgetting some of the turns on this track.  The layout we used was what, 23 corners? 

I'd love to go back!

TST, fool.

I don't think I'll ever get all of those turn dialed. Can't wait to try again.

Jumping in the river on the way to Reno after a day of racing is GREAT.
